Description
Excerpted from the website description:
- Camerasouth (a camera in the south) is the name for this home for a collection of my photographs, many of which were made over the adult portion of my tangential journey on this celestial orb. The camera, or might I say cameras, reside in my home located slap dab in the heart of the deep south; the light they record is there or anywhere light might reveal its special qualities of revealing truth. In the smallest is reflected the largest; in the largest is reflected the smallest. Mandelbrot, Kierkegaard, Heinlein, Ramanugen, Massachio, Clark, Mozart, Brahms, Van Gogh, Cezanne, Bach, and those others of lesser note, whose lives have filled our lives with their gifts of the lesser gods, I offer my enduring grattitude for their endless inspiration My first professional job was as what they used to call in the newspaper business, a batch boy. I was a lab guy. They didn't think that I was smart enough to take pictures so they kept me in the lab. Late one Sunday afternoon I was the only person working because I always got the short end of the work schedule and all the other guys were home with their families. A phone call came in to the office. The voice on the phone said there was a major fire downtown. I grabbed 2 cameras, a C-33 and a Nikkormat, loaded them with film and was off to the race. The next morning my pictures were on the front page of our local paper. AP picked up a couple of the shots and they were also in newspapers all over the country as feature shots showing fireman exhausted from fighting the fire. That became a defining event in my life. From that point forward the camera became an extension of my psyche. The camera is just a tool to isolate the visual experience. A vehicle of allowing insight to evolve into inspiration. As trite as it sounds, I later spent a summer in Yosomite, working with you know who, as did many other wannabe's. Over the years, I have been teacher and student to many, just as I am now. It's not a destination, rather a journey. It's not the price, but the cost. I hate to see the demise of the silver image, there is so much history there, but I love the new digital . The king is dead, long live the king. Hope that these pictures come to touch you as they have me.Enjoy.
