According to Josh Axelrod, photography originates with light. Pattern is the form, the symmetry, the composition. Motion is an expression of time… he considers these the essential elements of photography. From the back woods of Vermont, to the western shores of Washington to high in the Andes of Peru, Axelrod finds inspiration in what is often overlooked – the simple things that blanket the earth. Magic lives everywhere; the feathered blade of golden grass blowing in the wind, the current rippling in a mountainside stream and the ever-changing light defining the voice of those moments. "I am fascinated by how we perceive reality and how that perception determines what we see," he says. "I seek the poetry of our landscape; the imagery I hope to convey. The sacred moments where light, sound, color and texture harmonize make me smile…. This moment will never be seen quite the same again."
