Done for the "Memory to History" project of the Metrowest Center. These montages are periodically exhibited at the Center and loaned to other organizations.

 

The abstract form that can be read into some photographs, even those with strong context, is what turns me on. I find this quite analogous, in my own mind, to the beauty of the graphical or mathematical demonstration resulting from a good piece of scientific research. Both have abstract beauty and real context. For this scientist-photographer that's what gives the high.

My earlier images featured conventional silver and color printing techniques plus a retro-photographic method (gum printing). Because of the advent of very high quality printers, and archival pigments and papers, I have transitioned to all Giclee (high quality digital) printing. My exhibition photographs are taken either digitally or on photographic film (in which case images are subsequently digitized). This transition has permitted me to take advantage of the the versatility, for creative work, of digital manipulation of images. No effort is made to force the images to look like conventional silver or color prints. Actually, for some images I find it a distinct artistic advantage, to manipulate them to look less like photographs.
