ARTIST'S STATEMENT

 

Bill has been involved in photography for over 30 years. As a teen, he worked for a small professional studio performing tasks including B/W photography and hours of Color darkroom work. In addition to exposing him to multiple processes and formats, this early experience taught him that a photographer interested in artistic endeavors might be wise to develop an alternative income source.

Along with his endeavors in starting his own company, Bill has been working with his re-discovered love of the Large Format image. The images in this show represent both his newer Large Format work, as well as 35mm work.

He has exhibited with the f5.6 group in shows and portfolios for the past two years, and last February won 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place (in different categories) in the Annual Medtronic Physio-Control Photo Show.

I am fascinated with light and color, both subtle and dramatic. I am particularly intrigued by the unexpected, transient condition. The rediscovery of the Large Format image captures more of what I perceive with the control to transfer what is in my mind to film so that it may be seen in other's eyes. To me, this is truly exciting!
