So, what is the most difficult aspect of art to
show accurately on the WEB? I find QUALITY to be nearly impossible to
represent accurately over the internet. First, there is the terrible resolution of the computer screen. How can
you possibly see the incredible resolution and expansive color tonal range of my
prints on a flat LCD screen or even the finest CRT screen. Or render the
fine surface of the 100% cotton-fiber paper I use on the WEB. For someone like
me who is dedicated to creating fine quality, archival color photographs,
individually printed on superb fine art paper, what you see on the WEB can only leave
an impression of what my pictures look like in person.
Second, there is the lack of detail. It
really takes first hand viewing to truly see the quality I strive for in every
finished piece, in every finished size.
Third, you can't really hold the piece in your
hands to closely inspect the print, feel the texture of the solid wood frame, the crispness of the frame corners, the
clarity of the conservation glass. After all, to see the wonderfully rich depth of
solid hardwood frames like my natural cherry or white maple you need to touch
it, heft it and hang it on your wall for full effect.
Does quality image making come from the way I
see a subject? Does it come from my lens selection? Does it come
from my obsessive use of a tripod? Does it come from the fine cameras I
use? Does it come from the ISO sensitivity setting I use? Does it
come from the shutter speed and lens opening I select? Does it come from
the patients I apply to waiting for the breeze, the clouds, the time of day, the
storm to peak? Or does quality in my images result from all of this and
the many other intangibles in creative photography?
Once you see my work in person you may glimpse the
depth of dedication I seek in creating truly worthy archival photographs.

Quality results from the kind of
care I use at every stage of my creative process. From the time I think
about photographing an image to the presentation of the framed print to a
clients, I apply 'white glove' quality thinking to every thing I do.
This orientation to quality assures that I continually strive to complete my
image making honestly, completely, cleanly, and with care and sensitivity. |
