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." |
