The Wright Images
Being influenced by light painters like Andrew Kincard and especially Andrew Wyeth, I wanted to photograph the same way. “I love the light, I listen to the silence and I create with excitement. I love to photograph utter realism in the silent world of abandoned barns, rivers and trees, to old things that have contrast and shadows. When I am composing an image I look for the shadows the light offers and I focus on them as it is very spiritually for me.”
My art is me, it is what I am and what I intend to be. Through my eyes you can see my weaknesses and enjoy my strengths. Not perfect but you can see where I have been and where I am going. I am and will always be a work in progress from beginning to end and never to finish, I am learning and absorbing all that I can. And in the end I want to create art because it makes me feel good. Without the use of Photoshop it is an amazing feeling to capture the beauty in what I see with the techniques to achieve it.
I feel the joy, the passion and the feeling that I am right where I am suppose to be!
