Tutoring --not your standard Intro to Photography--Intro to Art Photography
Raised on Tri-X as a child, with puberty came Kodachrome and Cibachrome, then briefly the Zone System. Photo journalism in High School and College. I had an amazing mentor in High School, Roman Borgeding at Golden Valley High School Mn. Riveting teacher, we were completely different for style--BUT, I had to JUSTIFY every shot to him on the carpet verbally! You can't imagine how tough this was--unless you knew this man! All Color, All Digital now. My Style came Sophomore year of College--I acknowledge only ONE photograph before then, as mine. Then began my extreme experimentation with Films, Filters, and Double Exposures--including putting film through the camera multiple times, and Infrared Film.
Nod to National Camera Exchange Minneapolis Mn, I worked there in College and got to try EVERYTHING for FREE on nights/weekends--hence my European affair with the Hasselblad Super Wide Camera and Leicas --Thank You John Liss
Nod to friends that influenced my thinking and made me question everything: Chris Sherman, Rich Wilson, Tom Schmeling, Ann Whitehead, Prof. Paul Kirchner, and Prof. Walter Strom--both from St Olaf College Northfield, and Kurt Godel
Big Four Influences:
Roman Borgeding--hit me over the head with Metaphor, I actually had to graph them on a chalkboard!
Rene Magritte Surrealist Painter--otherwise I wouldn't title my Photographs
Diane Arbus took me to "Edge City", and showed me around
Edward Weston Seduced me with Abstracts--and Sensual Nature
Though I was Bio-Psych, I was Photo Editor of the Newspaper, and Tutored others in Photography for Credit while a student in College. The first thing I asked my students to do was write a Manifesto. "WHAT--I thought you were going to teach me Photography!"--yep--how do you define what Photography, and the World is--in words? I loved opening their heads this way. Then we'd walk around and I'd give them Photographic Zen Koans...
"Beginner's Mind"--is always how we should look at things.
Now, I sell my Art, shoot Freelance, Tutor still, and write about the meaning of Life and Evolutionary Theory and Economics.
