ON PHOTOGRAPHY©

PHOTOGRAPHY IS PAINTING WITH LIGHT. IT IS STALKING THE LIGHT. AS FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHERS we deliberately try to capture extraordinary and rare moments... In a world where manipulation of imagery has become the rule, our only legitimacy is to maintain the originality and authenticity of the work. By not using enhancing props, each photograph is individually handmade from the original slide. What you see in the work is A MOMENT OF LIGHT THAT ACTUALLY EXISTED.

A PHOTOGRAPH ULTIMATELY IS A DOCUMENT. We feel our work on the Grand Canyon documents the light, the mood, the spirit, and the magnificence of this sacred place. It is our most sincere desire thate these images will bring you closer to the core element of nature.

PHOTOGRAPHY'S ESSENCE IS IN THE CONVICTION THAT THE CAPTURED IMAGE IS THE RECORDED PRESENCE OF THE SPIRIT. When looking through the viewfinder of a camera, we see a framed description of the world. To bypass this condition, one must look inwardly and ask for the subject's permission. This may be a rock, a cloud, or a person's eyes; only then the non-judgemental viewer can accomplish the work properly. If a person wants to learn about photography, one must first unlearn what they may think photography is. In photography, like in life, we can live by the rule of the "snapshot" to elucidate and construct reality from a blurred image. Fine art photography takes away this dialogue from the superficial, and brings it to the interaction between the ethereal and the magnificent with a clear vision.

OUR ORIGINAL PHOTOGRAPHS ARE OF THE HIGHEST QUALITY. The photographs are archivally mounted and matted using museum quality materials.

The work is displayed at Arts Prescott Gallery, 134 S. Montezuma, Prescott, Arizona and also at the El Tovar Hotel, South Rim of the Grand Canyon.
