Digital photography has made it easier to print on surfaces beyond paper, and with that opportunity has come the potential to see subjects in a different way. For this exhibit, my goal was to choose photographs that had a composition that reminded me of a painting. They’re still lifes, not driven by action or a chance to capture fleeting moments. I had time to consider color and composition, and large enough print sizes that the photographs can draw you into their world. The photographs in this exhibit are printed on canvas or metal, and they come from several different countries.
I have been a photographer since I was given my first box camera at age 5. My father encouraged me and had enlargements made of photos I took while in elementary school that he hung in his office. I’ve owned dozens of cameras, and shot hundreds of rolls of slide film, but since 2000 have exclusively used digital cameras. My last display in the ERUUF Gallery was in in 2013. My wife Holly and I have been members of ERUUF since 1980.
