L.A. MORE... PHOTOGRAPHY
My blogs
| Introduction | I live in a small cedar house on a cliff above the ocean. This pacific shore where I make my images is my home. Photographs are taken with cameras large format and small... sometimes idiosyncratic cameras that I construct myself from ephemera washed in by the tides. I use old lenses, chunks of beach glass, ice & sea water... anything that will bend light to film. I print with silver, platinum, gold emulsions in my darkroom... though sometimes I make emulsions from seaweed or parts of trees... and now and then I add infusions from nature or crushed bones & shells in the traditional chemistry of photography. All of the subjects are as they are found here in nature... they exist as a real visual presence in this landscape... nothing is contrived or managed into existence. It is very simple... just me... a collection of cameras... and the mystery of existence. |
