As frenzied as these gulls were in their flight, so was I on the shutter button. Every second yielded a different composition.
Layered between each other, their reflections in the water and their shadows on the ice made the images even that much more complex and exciting.
Although the angle of view is downward, there is an ambiguity due to the reflection of the sky in the water and the melting ice so that it seems like I am shooting skyward. This makes the walking ducks and sea gulls appear to be walking in the sky.
Consider the contrasting elements of individual compared to group, sky compared to water compared to clouds, in-flight compared to earthbound, up compared to down, heaven compared to earth, big compared to small, reflections compared to shadows, gulls compared to ducks.
The images convey something much deeper than what they appear to be documenting on first glance. Take a moment to meditate upon them. As one views them, one can’t help but notice the visual transparency and fluidity of these images. But more than that, the subtle messages that are conveyed both visually and symbolically, give these images spiritual richness that goes beyond their apparent beauty.

Lights and colours. Time Square, Broadway, The Theater District. This town lights up and becomes even more alive than in the day time, if that is possible. People are out in the streets all night long, like a big party.
My friend Eli and I were driving through this spectacle with me sticking my head out the skylight window, even though it was raining, and snapping away with my camera in all directions. There wasn't a bad angle to be found. All were exciting and all were wonderfully colourful and bright.
I have always wondered what is it about this city that makes people feel this way about it. It is legendary and glamorous. Hyped by the media, and especially made popular through film over the years. So many in the visual arts, theater, cinema and music have considered it to be the ultimate place to “make it”.

The work is my expression in photography and video art, through the improvisational dance moves and voice of performance artist Vicki Tansey.
My concerns are in the ambiguity and imperfection of language and the complexity of communication. Words that have been the accepted tool for expression either spoken or written, have often fallen short when it came to understanding between individuals or groups. Differences in culture, religion, social status or even gender, have contributed to misunderstanding and often causing conflict.
The photographs deliver a complex message that is not so much from the head as it is from the gut. Images that are left to the viewer’s interpretation,
they are the result of combining deliberate camera shake to continuous and expressive dance moves. With minimal direction, Vicki improvises dance to the sound of her own recorded voice.
As does dance, so my visual dictionary of body language transcends spoken or written word. It traverses intellectual boundaries.
This is a selection of photographs, which is the result of extensive editing from several hundred images.
Along with the material of this package, I propose to include a short video film (not yet produced). This will be my creation with the collaboration of Vicki, whereby I will film her as she dances to one of her own, improvised musical recordings. This will further investigate the expression in movement and sound. It will be a montage of imagery with Vicki at the center, as she gestures expressively in her improvised dance. The film will take place at a selection of locations that will be chosen for their personal significance in her life.

Washington DC, May 15, 2014. Social justice activists rally in front of the FCC to oppose proposed net neutrality rule changes that would essentially end the free and open internet which has worked miraculously well for almost twenty years now. Shortly after noon the FCC voted in favor of considering the odious changes allowing 'pay for play' fast lanes in the internet (and the implied threat of slower speed diminished service for those who don't pony up...), subject to "public comment" which you know will be a sham exercise leading to an already determined conclusion in favor of the big telecoms. This plan was so evil even Amazon and Microsoft signed off on a letter to the FCC opposing it (Apple was missing in action...) but I'm sure it was not for altruistic reasons. Hopefully 'cable' and TV sets will soon be a thing of the past.
While visiting an antique store in Toronto’s Queen Street, I became rather inspired by the display of musical instruments and microphones. All used for the creation of sound and music. The energy that came from these instruments of sound and performance inspired me to combine them into a triptych of which I made two versions.

Great photography requires dedication, time and effort.
But above all there are costs involved as well.
Equipment, props and model fees, not to mention time,
are all "out-of-pocket" expenses for the artist.
If you enjoy my photography, you might like to help to support my art.
I offer over 2 hours of great videos, including many
behind-the-scenes of some of my best photo sessions,
all artistically crafted for your enjoyment.

Thanks for your time and support.

I was looking intently at these gentle creatures and their eyes stared back at me transfixed by my presence. It was only after standing there for a long while that they resumed their grazing. Perhaps they trusted me now. I couldn't help thinking how they reminded me of my dogs in behavior and gentleness. To think that we eat these creatures. If this was the only evil of humanity. Something to think about.

If I turned one person on to his great work, I am happy to share.
this is how the shot came out of the camera - no photo manipulation
