Artist Statement 2009

The first entry on this blog was my first artist statement. It was short and to the point: I hate artist's statements.

I suspect that artist statements arose out of a fear on the part of people they will look stupid if they don't understand an artist or his work. Either that, or they were started by an artist whose felt that his work was inadequate without some sort of explanation.

I still hate them.

Last Post of 2008

I will be working on an art submission through the end of the year, so this will be the final post of 2008.

I took this photo two nights ago, after coming home from an evening of shooting. I was tired and cold. I got out of my car and looked up at the house. I was pretty annoyed when I saw how beautiful everything looked. I wanted to go to sleep. Nonetheless, I set up my camera and tripod and fired off one shot.

I knew before I took the shot that the scene reminded me of Japanese woodblock prints. When I processed the image, it was even more clear.

Here is the image:
