Could a photograph ever possess a beating heart? Could it pulse and flow, absorbing the viewer in love, ecstasy, grief, or pain? Could a photograph change you? Could it change the world? Can the medium ever transcend itself? Or are photographs and their creators always destined to be rooted in the real, the here and now, unable to take flight into the abstract, always grounded by paper, chemicals, glass, light, and time?
Photography is the most democratic of mediums, easy to learn but difficult to master. Our approach is not religious, but each of us in our own way is attempting to transcend the limitations of the medium, to use photography’s inherent characteristics to express ourselves, our views, our lived experience. These images, then, are hymns in praise of photography, of paper, chemicals, glass, light and time.
