"Rather than being commercial assignments, these images are my personal work. Interestingly enough, some commercial clients enjoy these images to see my style, composition skills and creativity or 'vision,' as they call it.

My passion is fine art landscape photography
I am currently photographing Big Bend from the air. Here are a few sample images. I call this series "A Vision from Above" and the photographs been selected for two major gallery showings in Texas during the past 12 months."


I cannot find an interview for this corporate photographer as his work is primarily commercial.

Manipulation

"The media is manipulated in all manners, for example through professional public relations (PR), and covert and overt government propaganda which disseminates propaganda as news. What are often deemed as credible news sources can often knowingly or unknowingly be pushing political agendas and propaganda."

Media Manipulation, Anup Shah, April, 2006

How forces affect media and corporate broadcasts and how the media manipulates itself to push one agenda over another is paramount to my work. My goals in the series are to illustrate the way data can be paired with images and distorted to change the appearance of that data as a whole. I believe the world would be a different place, with a more informed public, if unbiased news of the facts were presented vs the material distributed today.

Adding up the posts, it looks like I am missing 1 Thursday and 1 Sunday post. I will create 2 more posts.

"I have over 20 years of industry experience spanning the "Motion Picture" and "Television Industry" as a "Production Still Photographer", to working in the executive offices of a major international advertising firm.

Living in the Northwest, I am very fortunate to be within three minutes of some of the most beautiful inland waterways in the world. I’m a rather accomplished sailor and yachtsman, graduate of the United States Power Squadrons® , U.S.C.G. Americas Boating Course, and a member of the United States Coast Guard / AUX, Flotilla 33.

In addition to shooting land based assignments, our yacht photography crew is comprised of current and retired U.S.C.G members, certified "coxswains" some with over 30 years of on the water experience in navigation, mission planning, SAR, First Aid/ CPR and AED. We have several shooting platforms available from swift boats to luxury yachts, fixed wing and rotary wing (helicopter) pilots.


Rest assured that when you hire us for a land, sea or air based shoot it will be safe and well organized." -Biography

It doesn't look like there are any interviews out there, as he is more business based than art based. I think this is why I am attracted to his professional work. It is focused on being a business, with clients. However I find many of the photographs to be strikingly artistic.

11/13- Global Economics

"Jolted by rising unemployment and shrinking investment portfolios, Americans have been feeling the pain of the world's worst financial upheaval in more than a half century. As President George W. Bush and leaders of other major countries meet here for an economic summit, many are wondering if they'll be able to find common ground for relief."

My interests revolve around the economics of this global economy. I think this current economic downturn has been a reflection of just how interconnected our economies are on a global scale in this day and age. One country cannot experience economic trauma without affecting the entire global economy in the same manner. I still feel markets will work themselves out if regulation is limited and the governments involved do not put too many constraints on them. Most interesting to my particular market in trading global currencies, is the fact the the US dollar is actually at the same level today vs major currencies like the EURO as it was in 2006.

Still haven't decided what to post on this presentation. I could not decide how to react to the actual presentation, however the art itself is easy to react to. I think the artist was hampered in getting his idea's across via a language barrier. He knew why he was creating the art, but wasn't able to verbalize it in English as well. Which is disappointing, as I believe he could talk about his different series all day.

Overall the art was very dark, especially in the earlier kid years. He seems to harbor a pretty deep resentment towards children that comes across in his earlier work. The mostly composed children portray a very sinister feel, even in some very innocent positions.

I believe he further developed this later in his nature series, though maybe with a little less natural dislike coming through. The pinnacle of the nature series are the statue's. Where beauty and a dark theme combine into several pieces that are beautiful until the viewer looks a little closer to find the slightly darker underside with spiders hiding in the center.

"The Hollywood Sign is an international iconic symbol that is recognized by hundreds of millions of people all over the world. It not only represents Hollywood, but it also represents the movie and entertainment industries and the dreams of everyone who has enjoyed a movie and who dreams of being in the world of entertainment"
