For better or for worse, I am wedded to photography. While most people are familiar with my street photography, I also create a large number of abstract photography and mixed media images.Throughout this issue I am using some of my abstract works as I feel that they are closer to a poetic form of image-making. They are more nuanced and allow for broader interpretations.I adore street photography. It is an activity that I fully enjoy. It is my livelihood and I have the great good fortune of having customers from every walk of life and country from around the world. Many of them are friends now.Freedom is playing against the camera. Vilém FlusserBut I often feel that anyone could've taken the same street photo. And of course, they are no originals in street photography. They can be mass produced regardless if they are analog or digital.Mixed media, photomontage, multiple exposures, photo transfer and scanner movement are just a few of the other areas that I create in. And they all use photography to one degree or another and they are original.So photography will always be part of who I am. Thank you for following in my curious journey in my thoughts on photography and being patient as I work to produce each issue of this newsletter.
