Documenting our Landscape

The photographic image is the reflection of the photographer’s vision, his or her passion. By printing an image the photographer makes public that vision and passion. What is seen by one can, in this way and only this way, be seen by others in the role of viewer of the two-dimensional world created by the photographer as a simulacrum, an illusion if you will, of that which moved the photographer to snap the shutter and create an image. The photographer, in the end, must concentrate on creating work that speaks visually of his or her world; the images created make that private world public.
