…and now to go back in time….The viewfinder has always been my canvas. The world is my palette and what and how I see are art elements: shape, color, light, texture, etc. On Christmas Day in 1999, while on the way to Antarctica with 40 rolls of film, I visited Port Stanley in the Falklands. Along the main street I was attracted to the textures of assorted materials used to construct the buildings…but what I saw did not capture what I felt and wanted to express. I needed to intensify the dull trapazoidal shape of sky and get rid of extraneous lines of wires and poles that cluttered the visual field of pure color, shape and texture. This was my first exploration into creating my vision in the digital darkroom using Photoshop 6. Little did I know that Photo-Liminalism would grow from this? The seed had been planted!
