BENT LIGHT KOANS

BENT LIGHT

A camera lens bends light through a process called refraction. Intricately designed lens elements cause light to slow down and change direction before converging on a single point, forming the focused image on the film or sensor.

KOAN

A koan is a thought experiment, a paradoxical question, or surreal story with no logical solution or single “right” answer. It cannot be resolved by using reason and the aim is to quite literally think outside the box of rational dualistic thinking to provoke a realization or “kensho” (seeing essential nature). It is not a “challenge” to overcome, but an experience to participate in which can lead to an internal shift that transforms understanding, unraveling the fabric of our perceived reality to reveal greater truths about the world and about ourselves.

All photographs contained in these portfolios are available as archival Giclée prints. Prints will be produced by the artist on heavy weight 310g Platine Fiber rag paper. This Baryta coated 100% cotton paper has a gorgeous silver/platinum quality to it, along with a great tonal range, high D-max and ability to hold detail while also exceeding ISO 9706 museum longevity requirements. The print sizes that I am able to offer personally are 8"x10", 11"x14", and 16"x20”. If larger sizes are desired (especially for the vertical panoramas) the image resolution will easily support this and WhiteWall photo lab is my preferred choice. I do not have a store set up at this time, as I do not sell a high enough volume for it to be necessary. Payment will be through PayPal, and will be very reasonable as I feel that art should not be priced sky-high just to deceive the audience into believing that it is valuable. Art IS valuable to the audience only in its ability to connect with them, and the one surefire way to hamper this connection is with unreasonable pricing models. Feel free to reach out and contact me below regarding prints or any questions that you might have.
