I've been craving color. Not sure for how long, or where it came from. Quietly and with confident persistence, it has kept occupying my senses. The flavors of chartreuses and umbers, the fragrance of lavenders and lilacs, the whispers and screams of alabasters and azures, the pirouettes of carmine, indigo crescendos and pink innuendos, and cuddles of honey-yellows on a cold morning. All of them intense and irresistibly brilliant, moving from periphery to the center. Chromatic aberrations!!! Failures of a camera lens to precisely focus all colors, which creates fringes at the edges of bright and dark areas. Imperfections that can be easily fixed in Photoshop. Yet, in the last few years my appetite for color has taken me in the opposite direction - a celebration of imperfections. Enhanced saturation, vividness, skewed hues, exaggerated grain and contrast have become the subject of my visual explorations. I have broadened my definition of chromatic aberration and included grey scale since departure from color in our creations constitutes a sort of abnormality. I savor lightness when it gradually, almost invisibly, floods the paper and whips up the shades to shape. I might follow with a full fiesta of colors, and end the meal with some dark tones. Welcome to my photo journey where you will find perfectly imperfect people, places, animals, plants, and some abstracts. Bon appetit!
