Piece description from the artist
This photograph is from a series of ancient barn and rustic farm images I have taken over the last 5 years. It is an HDR image taken after one of the big snows of a couple of winters ago. The snow takes the shape of the many farm pallets and gives the scene a mysterious and abstract quality with the only color in the image coming for the exposed blue pallet under the snow.
Having trained on a large format view camera in the 1970’s where each photograph takes 10 minutes or more to compose and shoot, I learned to slow down, look carefully, and pay attention. This photographic process taught me to carefully observe and then photograph the complexity of nature and everyday objects and capture the subtleties of shape, color, shadows and light and other intriguing visual features, that might otherwise be overlooked. The resulting images make the viewer look carefully as well while asking questions, such as: What is it? How far away am I? What time of day is it? Is it a real or a manipulated image? I assure you that all these images are real, unmanipulated, and represent a moment in time preserved through my camera.
While I am primarily self-taught, I have learned a great deal over the last three decades from fellow photographer friends and colleagues and a few photography courses . Over the years, I have also been influenced by a wide variety of gifted, dedicated, and inspirational photographers and artists.
