People: Honorable Mention 2016 (professional)
ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Stonehenge is one of the most photographed and mysterious ancient monuments on earth. On a bleak rainy November day in Salisbury, UK, the most memorable sight was the umbrella'd crowd of tourists cordoned off at a respectful distance as if the monument and the group are having a stare-down.
AUTHOR
Love of architecture was the impetus for picking up the camera in Chicago in the 1970s and 1980s. in 1991 I migrated west. to greater Los Angeles. Southern California is an insane multiverse of the unfinished, the grand, the decayed and the beautiful - using "beautiful" in the broadest sense imaginable. As an urban explorer, arts advocate and architecture fiend, I love to find images in the environment that startle, move and perplex me. Although I practice photocollage often, when a striking image sticks with me it is often a building, a tree or the conflation of open land and urbanscape. It can also be an accidental abstraction - something quite mundane that ends up looking like mid-20th century abstract expressionism; very satisfying when that happens.
