rrrrrrr A Photographer's Life Journey on the Quest for Meaning rrrrrrr
From the book's introduction...
In Art and Fear by David Bales and Ted Orland, a quote credited to Stephen Detailer reads, “Artists don’t get down to work until the pain of working is exceeded by the pain of not working.”
This has happened to me. The pain of not writing has finally exceeded the pain of writing. Here I am at three in the morning making progress in the alleviation of pain. With the advent of electronics and supporting technology, I have mustered the courage to produce my first book.
The title, The Other Side of Light, is a gift from life to me. As a photographer, I depend on light. The word photographer means light-writer. The very core of my dwelling as an artist takes place inside of my mind where no light exists. Heart and intuition, which play a vital role in my work, also operate independently from light.
Photography, a physical art form often requiring expensive and complex equipment to capture, process, and eventually print an image, is hardly anything more than a vehicle of communication to transport a thought or feeling from the consciousness of one individual to another.
This book, therefore, is about what is happening on the other side of the vehicle of transmission and all that is involved in this complex process. Love, pain, joy, wonder, humor, and even abstraction are the hidden intents behind the images and words.
Whether read from the beginning to the end, from back-to-front, or at random, these reflections offer you the opportunity to take a peek at where I have been, who I am, and what gifts I hold to share.
Each image in the book comes with a story that either anteceded or proceeded its creation. Joe makes these images available additionally in separate print form. Each print comes with the respective story, a certificate of authenticity, and a coffee table book. Each photograph is dedicated and signed as requested by the client and the book itself. $30.00 ea.
