I shoot street photography in Asheville, North Carolina and then create art from said photos using a variety of software tools, plug-ins, and custom brushes.
As in most cities across the nation, Asheville has its share of homeless. The expression on the face of this woman matched her dog, creating a poignant scene that can rend a heart. Wrapped in a sleeping bag as the sun sets and a cool night approaches, she rests her head on a duffle bag containing all her worldly possessions, save her dog. The kindness of strangers keep her and her hope alive.
I get a bit frustrated by those who say this is not photography and those who say it is, and therefore is not "traditional" art. I was denied entry into a gallery 4 times because I didn't "fit" and they said it would not sell. I am now on a waiting list for a different local gallery. I have a one-man show in yet another gallery Nov 8 - Jan 3. Postcards of my work are being sold in the Asheville Art Museum. To those who told me a couple months ago to be patient, thanks. This Fall will be busy and fun. The best "revenge" is living well.
Now if things would sell here, too. Guess I need to be patient again, huh?
