Artist Statement
On Golden Pond was created during the spectacular fall season when the colors are exploding and bright. The beauty of the gold reflection flickering in the water captured my attention and kept me there for quite a while.
As a photographer I take the time to be mindful of my surroundings, listening to the space I’m in, waiting for it to speak to me and tell me its story, sometimes literally, sometimes figuratively. I don’t always succeed, my mind gets in the way, the feeling is not there or the inspiration fails. But when I do, I settle in to find the sense of place, and it is then that I find that my images can evolve out of what can be.
When I work with my camera I find that my visual capacity is amplified. Space is concentrated and I see the world in a smaller yet more intricate way. Then the object or image is no longer what I see with the human eye; it transforms into a feeling and takes on new meaning when the shutter closes, sometimes capturing the beauty in the mundane.
