艺术家自述
我的艺术摄影在1968年有了一个重大的飞跃。 我不经意地走进安塞尔•亚当斯画廊，展现在我眼前的是安塞尔•亚当斯的6幅惊人的巨型影像照片。1969年春天，我再一次来到约赛迈特，作 在以后的8年里，我一直参加约赛迈特的安塞尔•亚当斯培训班,还有他在加州卡梅尔的培训班。
在过去的30年里，我和妻子每年有两个月到处游荡，因此我们作品的内容多样丰富。
40多年以前，我做出了一个承诺，就是继续安塞尔•亚当斯的传统“纯粹”摄影。这里没有电脑或多种图像技术的使用，也没有打印或是底片加工，比如漂白或激化。我在《伟大的美国西部》中所有的照片都是使用2.25英寸 和 8×10英寸照相机拍摄的。所有照片的制作，包括40×50英寸的大照片，我都是用最传统的方法完成 – 以纤维为基础的相纸，传统的暗房技术。我的目标是制作出那些激动人心的精彩照片。
Artist Statement
My pursuit of fine art photography took a major leap forward when in 1968, I innocently wandered into Best Studio, now the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite National Park. Before me in all their glory were six Ansel Adams photographs of epic size and imagery. The next spring, 1969, I was again in Yosemite. During the next eight years I attended another Ansel Adams workshop in Yosemite, as well as his workshop in Carmel, California.
My wife and I were lving as nomads for two months of the year for over thirty years has resulted in an on-going body of work rich in substance and diversity.
More than forty years ago I made a commitment to continue in the Ansel Adams tradition of “straight” photography. There is no use of computers or multiple imagery. There is no print or negative enhancement such as bleaching or intensification. All of my photographs are made in the Great American West using 2 ¼” and 8 x 10” cameras. I print up to 40 x 50” inches the “old fashioned way” using fiber based paper, tray processing and selenium toner. My goal is to produce prints which truly celebrate those most exciting photographic moments!
