Artist's Statement

My work explores the relationship between the tyranny of ageing and skateboard ethics. With influences as diverse as Derrida and Roy Lichtenstein, new synergies are generated from both simple and complex layers.

Ever since I was a student I have been fascinated by the unrelenting divergence of meaning. What starts out as contemplation soon becomes corroded into a cacophony of power, leaving only a sense of nihilism and the unlikelihood of a new reality.

As subtle derivatives become reconfigured through frantic and academic practice, the viewer is left with a testament to the edges of our culture.

Non-Academic Artist's Statement

Beauty is commonly described as a feature of objects that makes them pleasurable to perceive (per wikipedia). That's my objective. But occasionally, there will be crap.

So, about me...

I'm a retired professional speaker who specialized in sales and use taxes. And yes, it's WAY more complicated than you think. Prior to that, I was in accounting (I passed the CPA exam back when it was hard) and technology sales. I have enjoyed photography for over 60 years, have sold a few photos, and have taught the occasional photography class. I have been fortunate to work all over the USA. I literally have worked, slept, and taken pictures in all 50 states. 😇

Equipment

Currently, my prime camera is a Nikon Z7 with five native lenses. But I have also used Canon and Sony point and shoots, as well as my cell phone.

Engagement on Flickr

I don't do reciprocal follows, faves, and comments. And I don't expect them in return. My comments, faves and follows are genuine. And I'm a pretty taciturn guy. I don't comment a lot. But I mean 'em when I write 'em. So you got that going for you. Which is nice.

I try (no guarantees) to look at the photostream of anyone who comments or faves one of my pictures. And I'll comment, fave or follow if I see something I like, but I'm very, very fussy. And if I DO follow you, I'll look at your latest stuff every day or so. Because of this, I try to keep the accounts I'm following to a manageable number. If I follow you, it's because I like what you post.

Please don't place images in the comments other than thumbnails (100pix on the longest side). Anything larger and I'll probably delete it. This doesn't apply to active conversations we're having and the picture is relevant. I'll also delete comments that are spammy, political, mock the person in the picture, or are provocative. I'm not interested in wasting time arguing online. If you want to meet at a neutral spot, have a cup of coffee, and recreationally argue, I'd enjoy that.

If your profile or photostream indicates you're "looking for love", you'll be blocked. I'll also block if your photostream makes me go "ewwww." And If you excessively fave or comment on pictures to get reciprocal faves and comments, a blockage may be in your future. 😮

Sadly, I've taken a lot of these.

Social Media

I'm trying to post my better pictures on Twitter / X concurrently with posting on Flickr.

I rarely post pictures on Facebook but I visit at least once a day. And I periodically post a link to a collection of recent pictures I've posted here. www.facebook.com/jimfrazierpresents

Thanks for viewing my photos. All those comments, views and favorites make me feel all warm and fuzzy. I'm glad you enjoy them.
