About the series of Nine

Sometimes we stare into nothingness and are rewarded with small gifts. Nature's Abstractions is a series of photographs of perspectives in nature and time. Yet, you can make out nature's signature in the out-of-focus patterns. I went to art school wanting to be an abstract expressionist painter, but a chance meeting with the photographer and department head Ray K. Metzker inspired me to be a film/photography major. When I studied photography in art school, we shot everything with the classic Pentax Spotmatic film cameras and a fixed 50mm lens. We processed and printed our film in a dark room. I became a huge fan of Black & White photography. Ansel Adams (February 20, 1902 – April 22, 1984) was an American landscape photographer and environmentalist known for his black-and-white images of the American West. Adams is still a significant influence and a favorite of mine. In the late 1950s, Adams was hired to photograph Yosemite National Park. In those days, there was no Photoshop or other fancy software. What he captured with his camera has set the bar for landscape photography. The only editorial tricks he used were dodging and burning. Yet his work caught the majestic look that captured the purity of the national park Yosemite. His work has a Zen quality and a rigid bar for other photographers to reach. As a photographer shooting in black and white, the challenge remains how to achieve the technical quality of Adams while remaining unique. I hit my series with a digital mirrorless Olympus camera and a pro lens. The Olympus OM-D-E M1 Mark lll I have the highest built-in image stabilization, allowing it to shoot without a tripod.
