CRITIQUE: INSPIRATION
“Photography is a love affair with life.” — Burk Uzzle
“Great photography is about the depth of feeling, not the depth of field.” — Peter Adams
“Seeing is not enough; you have to feel what you photograph.” —
Andre Kertesz

PRESENTATION: “Abstracting Nature in a Photograph”
“What makes an Abstract? What is an Abstract? These questions and many more are answered in my program on creating abstract images in nature and of natural and other objects. The great thing is that your imagination is the only block in the creative process and nowhere more so than in abstraction. I look at the various meanings of the word, how it pertains to photography, and show many of the techniques and much of the equipment I use to make interesting and eye-catching images inspired by nature and more. This show is approximately one hour in length plus questions time.”
