Lecture at The G2 Gallery
During my exhibit RARE PLACES IN A RARE LIGHT at The G2 Gallery in Venice, California, I will give a lecture with projected images on Thursday, October 15, 2009 at 7:00 pm. I will offer insights into the art of capturing ephemeral images of beauty and drama in the natural world.
I’ll also share anecdotes on the circumstances that produced many of the pictures in the exhibit. There will be an emphasis on the process I have evolved for being in the right place at the right time, finding compositional structure in a chaotic visual environment, and getting nuances of light and color onto film. I’ll also discuss the obstacles that commonly keep beautiful sights from translating into satisfying photographs.
Throughout the talk, I’ll recount the formative experiences in nature and the visual arts that lead to a career in fine art photography. Many of these continue to drive my pursuit of photographs that inform the soul and convey my deep belief in the value of wild places.
