Sundown/Lithium Sea (Newport Beach, CA, Salzburg, AT, 1996-2001)
Taken merely seconds before sundown, these images illustrate that exact moment when darkness and the light become one. Where the summit of color and shadow erupt then fade into the night.
Landscape/Red Clay, Rustic, Black and White (Grand Canyon/Sedona, AZ, Southern California fields, 1996-2007)
Showcasing the principles of the Gestalt*, these images examine the interrelationship between space and that illusion of movement where multiple images evolve within.
*Integrated structures or patterns that make up all experiences..., which can neither be derived from the elements of the whole nor considered simply as the sum of these elements.
The City (From LA to the city of brotherly love, to Europe (5pm to 2am) and back again, 1995-2007)
Whenever I'm in the city, I get the feeling as if I were frozen in time. A glimmer, a moment in the universe, traveling at the speed of light. Where beyond lies just another city, a another life.
Flower (Laguna Niguel, CA, 2007; A study in natural light)
With its photosynthetic power, foliage is the most expressive and opulent of subjects. It's as if it knows it exists and is being photographed in all its beauty.
Hidden Treasures (Laguna/Newport Beach, CA, 1994; A lesson in fractals* through mirroring and cloning)
While printing a few photographs of some burnt out brush and rock and thinking that they lacked any real aesthetic significant, I remembered studying about fractals and self similarity. As I focused more on the branches I started cloning the surrounding parts and to my amazement I had created an entire gallery of images that the more you look, the more you will find those hidden treasures.
*Rough or fragmented geometric shapes that can be split into parts, each of which is a reduced-size copy of the whole, a property called self-similarity.
