Nan's Alchemy - Alchemy is the ancient art (or magic) of converting a simple object into an item of value. By taking a photograph of a flower, a fish, a leaf or a cloud I can bestow upon it a second life. Now that brief moment in time is captured virtually forever. Now that's magic! That's alchemy!
My subject matter is not the expansive landscape; but the fascinating inner landscape. I notice the striations in a rock face, the silk threads in a milkweed pod, and red berries cloaked in snow. I love the sheer act of composing the image. So totally immersed in my subject, I lose all sense of time. I may skip eating or get soaked in pouring rain or get frozen fingers.
I want to express a feeling or emotion; or just a different way of looking at an everyday subject. I hope to involve the viewer with their environment. I am now working to combine my love of photography with my Paperwork.
