It was a beautiful morning. Sun rays and grayish sky.

Puddle and Fence Railing

It has rained here off and on at Vytlacil Artist Residency and has left puddles in unusual places. Puddles and memories of childhood bring nice thoughts to my mind.

Michael Corbin: The Art Book Guy Talks to me about Black & White Photography


MATTHEW G. BEALL: BLACK & WHITE

Matthew G Beall is an artist-friend who lives in Ulm, Germany.  He has recently shifted his creative pursuits to photography with stunning results.  I sent him an email asking him about his current pursuits and why black and white photography keeps him enthralled.  Here's his answer:


"Black and white photography has an inherent dignity and there has always been something dramatic, timeless and gripping about well-made black and white photographs that resonate with me deeply. The emotional power of a black and white photograph is an appealing quality that captivates and speaks to the viewer. This emotional appeal or language of light, shadow, texture, shapes, composition, tones, moods and the feeling of timelessness activates something primal within each of us that curiously pulls you in for a closer look. It is this that pushes me. The purity of black and white photography simply reaches within the core of my being. Black and white pictures have artistic and emotional qualities that are just not possible to achieve in color photography. It is these qualities that attract me to this genre. To sum it up ... "To see in color is a delight for the eye, but to see in black and white is a delight for the soul." -- Andri Cauldwell.

I am a vision driven photographer and painter. Hence, I subscribe to the idea that you don't take a photograph, you make it. This is the art. I spend many hours working on selected pictures in my digital darkroom to achieve this.

Light & Lenses :: Black and White Photography

Light normally goes through the lens, but sometimes it radiates on the lens. Looking at the ordinary is often very interesting. It all depends on how you see it.

The beauty of rain

What is it about water? About rain drops? Why do we stop and watch the rain fall?

We had several days of steady rain fall earlier in the week. I am somehow drawn to rain... I like to stand and watch and listen. And, of course, make some photographs.

Taken at The Art Students League of New York Vytlacil Campus in Sparkill, NY where I am doing an artists residency.  Be sure to check out my Inside the Studio blog!

The mundane remains no longer ordinary

Light casts shadows. Shadows enhance. The mundane remains no longer ordinary.

Light and Shadow: The Studio Buidling

I am doing an artist residency at The Art Students League of New York at Vytlacil

 It has rained for the past several days, but this morning I woke to some sun. Sun means light and shadows. This means photograph time.
