Your snowboarding photography is one of the reasons I picked up a camera, before I ever tried to make a career out of it. And ever since I had the honour of working with you on the Transworld Team Shoot out at Sierra all those years ago (2008?), you've been one of the most inspiring people/photographers to me. But your Silver and Light work now... that's the kind of stuff that keeps me wanting to push myself. The process and dedication you have is unbelievable, but the way you capture your subject matter is world class. I often tell people about this guy I know who travels around in a big truck that's actually a camera, and before I can finish my story, they know exactly who I'm talking about. :) Bit early to call it, but one day... maybe long after you're gone, but hopefully sooner, you will be seen as a pioneer and one of the greats, (if it hasn't happened already).
Thank you for this and for your work. "If I make it they can't take it away from me"...that statement brought me to tears and really sums up much of what I love about alt pro.
Hace aproximadamente unos 10 años que conocí por primera vez, a través de sus videos, los trabajos de Ian Ruhter y quedé impresionado. Desde aquella vez que me convertí en un admirador de sus obras. Si alguien pudiera subtitular al español esta charla nos haría un gran favor a todos los de habla hispana. Por favor!!
Yeah, the West Coast Fine Art (Straight) photography movement of the f-stop 64 group is what I love. Real images. 1890s pictorialism is nice as well, but still in the realm of fine art. Unfortunately, only us Alt Process fanatics are concerned with such things. People never understand what we are doing, or why we are so religious in our beliefs.
I was identified as dyslexic 2 weeks before my 55th birthday and all my life people told me, you can't do that it is impossible. Well it is only impossible because no one has done it yet, maybe they were told they can't do that because it is impossible and maybe they listened, my fault. I just didn't listen.
