The
photographer is an artist whose paintbrush is the light on his canvas, a light
sensitive material that captures the images he or she sees and feels. Photography
is the documentation of our visual senses.
It is about light, shape and time defining what our senses feel and see
at a given moment. When I am out on one
of my photo walks I am particularly attracted to the starkness between light
and shadow under the harsh light of the mid-day sun. It is under this light that I find shapes
well defined and the shadows they form receding into darkness. I prefer to present these shapes in black and
white rather than in color, which would intrude on the simplicity of this
visual experience. It is the world of
stark light and darkness –that I call The Black
and White Extreme.
