About
the Author:
I received a box Brownie camera on my tenth birthday, and fell in love with photography, and especially with light and what it could do both inside and outside of the camera, revealing and preserving moments of intense at-oneness with the wonders around me. My family and friends often found me ‘weird’ when I stopped and stared at ‘nothing in particular’ which had suddenly shown me a new and different aspect of itself.
In 1999, after many years of commercial photography, a discussion on Gaudi’s statement: “To be original you have to return to the origin” brought me back to using sunlight as the origin of my ‘writing with light’ but this time allowing the light to bring the picture to me instead of me capturing the light reflected from... I placed glass objects on the ground where the sun could shine through them from the back, expecting that it would perhaps make interesting abstract patterns, but when the light played around on the inside walls of glass, it made real pictures! Sometimes, especially when the light is changing and I am looking at a scene, but also into it and beyond it, there seem to be small moments when a more mysterious world, almost another reality, shines through.
These are the moments I try to capture.
