The Rock
(this is the one that doesn't pretend to act)
I've been taking "serious art" pics for nearly 60 years and I have only very recently discovered how my own pics can have meaning for myself and if they mean something to me, then, hopefully, they might mean something for others. For me, a pic needs to say something. It needs to assert a point of view or tell a story. Speaking only for myself, 'mere' beauty is not enough. It becomes a kind of eye candy that is easily obtained through good equipment and photo processing applications. Beauty, alone, is a kind of low bar. A pic really needs to say something and thereby connect in an emotional way with someone looking at the image. This image seeks to communicate solidity and the power of nature.
