About This Artwork
I’m totally frustrated with painting or, rather, my inability to paint with a brush. Quite by accident, I discovered that I didn’t need a brush because I could paint with my lens.
Long before I capture an image, I spend time sitting and watching, becoming aware of the sights, sounds and smells of my surroundings. Rather than forcing the image, I let it come to me. Often I’m captivated by the flow of what I see and I begin by capturing it by breaking the rules of photography and actually moving the camera as I shoot using the lens to capture that flow.
At first, it was slow and deliberate, but as I practiced, I was able to visualize the scene and, in a fleeting moment, take advantage of it. The Excitement Within is an example of such a moment.
It had been a long and exhausting day of photographing Spruce Knob, the tallest mountain in the Alleghenies and the highest point in West Virginia located in the Monogahela National Forest. The sun was setting as I returned to my motel when out of the corner of my eye, I saw rays of sun lighting up the fall colors in the forest. Because of all the foliage on the side of the road, I knew that a traditional photograph was impossible, but I did not want to miss capturing the drama that lay behind the foliage. I hopped out of the car and with camera in hand, I set for a slow shutter speed and “painted” the scene before me and portraying “the excitement within.” In addition, I combined this image with another close-up image of tree bark representing the bonding in nature.
