I suppose every creative process should probably begin with some kind of overflowing feeling that longs to be able to transmit what it is one sees and cares about, into some sort of permanent form. For me, that transmitter has been my camera, and the final form a fine art digital print I would love to be able to learn some of the old master's techniques: platinum and palladium, gum bichromate, bromoil or cyanotype; some of Edward Steichen's images fairly glow with a deep, luminous tone that can never be duplicated (in my view) through this digital world. And so, as best as I am able, I will continue to strive toward whatever are the best of my capacities within the limitations and opportunities that are mine to live.
