Artist's Statement
Welcome to my page!
As an artist I strive to take pictures that represent my life, or a point in my life in a manner that can be interpreted in several different ways by various viewers. I like to focus on nature and architecture within a frame, and try to gather an image that creates a story for each individual viewer. I'd like to think that my pictures have a story behind them when I take them but usually I don't come up with story or meaning behind them until after I take them and go through them. I personally am a fan of my digital photos over most of my portfolio photos, and black and white photos because I struggled working with the camera a bit. This struggle came from the fact that I have been so used to just pointing and shooting instead of having to adjust the camera in order to get a good picture. I had only worked in one dark room prior to this class and we had vary limited resources so it was interesting to have access to so many resources, and explore endless possibilities.
