There's beauty churning around us every moment....
Who would think you'd find such enthralling imagery on a wet 57th Street in the heart of Manhattan or reflected off the surface of The Pond in Central Park?
My Wet Dream, a series of 57th Street Abstractions, showcases the intricate, astonishing textures and colors of the street that manifest themselves during and after a rain storm. The abstractions that materialize, the exquisite compositions and pure forms that register, the impossible worlds that manifest, could be my most original contribution to photography. They are a found treasure sent from the heavens.
The Central Park Pond Series are photographs taken from various vantage points around the edge of that historic pond. One Blossom captures a single blossom reflected off the pond revealing forms never seen before in history. The surroundings - trees with their multi-colored leaves, the sun, sky and clouds - get abstracted in a myriad of breathtaking, astounding and fantastical ways. Manhattan skyscrapers turn into wild abstract paintings and sculptural forms. And park goers become the subjects of painterly portraits.
Central Park Puddle Reflections is a series of portraits taken of passersby replete with emotional resonance, complex textures, uneven, sometimes harsh lighting and unusual compositions giving the images a chimerical feeling.
Central Park Shadows showcases the artist's shadow abstracted on uneven, natural terrain.
NYC Shadows is classic street photography subverted - nothing but shadows.
The two Mirror Mirror Series are images gleaned using my own technique. You'll find nothing like them in the history of photography.
A.D. Coleman, the distinguished photography critic and historian, wrote of my earlier work, The Hudson River Series, "That these sensuous intricacies yield themselves up freely and in infinite variety across the visible world places us squarely in the heart of the miraculous."
This stuff is rocking. Who wants to win?
