My aim is not to produce the sensational or the intellectually novel, but to validate a point of encounter, a tenuous fragment or impression.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The beginning is often a highly chaotic and kinesthetic activity in the process of discovery. I acknowledge a kind of readiness for images more so than the existence of a muse or the notion of inspiration. This readiness requires looking intently at my surroundings; a humility of purpose and acceptance; and a quiet, though often exasperating patience. I do not seek a particular image but rather encourage the image to arrive at my threshold. I allow the light, shadow, color and composition to form organically, in a place somewhere between a vibrant reality and the recesses of my unconscious. I relish this elusive aspect of emergence and honor this transient beginning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each photograph evolves in its own unique manner. There is no delineated, predictable order or destination; there are few preconceptions. The initial inception is expanded, combined with newly discovered associations, and gradually finds a voice of intent. Even though I encourage states of intuition, ambiguity, and randomness, I must acknowledge that defining formal or aesthetic decision-making occurs; my creative process is not purely automatic. Formal devices are employed to clarify and strengthen that emotion which first compelled me to photograph. However, any analytic construction is subordinate to the original gestural responsiveness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the final image, when the photograph is delivered to the viewer, it is transformed into a new, autonomous existence. And, at its best, the image retains the freshness and spontaneity of the original vision.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>. . . to validate a point of encounter, a tenuous fragment or impression.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":5803,"template":"","categories":[9,187],"tags":[6,1665,1666,1667],"class_list":["post-5631","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aquifer","category-visual-art","tag-aquifer-the-florida-review-online","tag-david-sapp","tag-foliate-light","tag-nature-photography"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
