POLAROIDS

I HAVE ALWAYS USED THE CAMERA TO EXPLORE MY PERSPECTIVE OF THE WORLD AROUND ME. THESE ARE A FEW EXAMPLES. ALL POLAROIDS.

DIGITAL " SUPER STAR SERIES "

I’M STIMULATED BY WHAT I CAN CAPTURE IN READY MADE THINGS. ALTER THE SURFACE SET IT UP AND SHOOT. THE SET UP PROVIDES ME WITH THE MATERIAL ( ART ) THAT ALREADY EXISTS. I JUST SEPERATE CERTAIN AREAS TO BRING OUT ANOTHER VIEW.
REDUCING OR ENLARGING THE GRAMMER OF THE READY MADE OBJECT IN HOPES THE VIEWER WILL TRANSLATE THE CAPTURED IMAGE IN A MORE PERSONAL WAY.
THE DIGITAL TOOL IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I ANTICIPATED TO UTILIZE IN MY PHOTOGRAPHIC WORK. THE IMMEADIACY OF THIS FORMAT HAS PROVIDED ME WITH A BIGGER VIEW OF HOW I SEE THE WORLD. A TOOL THAT I WELCOME.
