Multiple Exposure creates multiple scenes (and many ways of seeing) from just one

Scenic photography begs more time to interpret the personality and intricacies of the land. A thoughtless capture by a hurried photographer, seems to me sad indeed. Akin to shutting down a conversation with a beloved friend to place a television show as a priority, a rushed photo shudders with the frigidness that lacks compassion for the subject.

Contemplation and time give rise to seeing – more from a perspective of “in”sight than a quick look would ever do. Creating art, whether it be by paint, pencil, dance, song, or camera beckons the artist to be a co-creator in a masterpiece. While photography is the art of what I already see, to do more than make a “not so great” idle replica in a two dimensional picture one must touch the subject with his or her heart. This touch springs a relationship that intertwines what anyone could see into a cornucopia of possibilities within the landscape. Whether it be a scene, such as the grand landscape of the Grand Canyon, where one may find endless possibilities of sublime micro landscapes within the vast … or a macro world where one finds grandiosity within the smallest of places … or the world I’ve shown you below in abstract multiple exposures – one scene, co-creating with nature to create many scenes from just one.
