| Social Distance: 6 Feet Photograph |
Artist Statement: The signs told us to keep our distance, and for a while we did. Even when we finally began to
come out of isolation it was hard to shake the anxiety that welled up when we felt others were
coming too near. But we won’t be kept apart; it isn’t natural. We ignore the signs now, but I
don’t know if we’re back to normal. It’s hard to say if we'll ever be exactly as we were, but we
are slowly, surely finding our way into a new normal. Bio: I caught the camera bug early on when my parents gave me a Brownie Starlet camera for my seventh birthday, and my father became my first photography teacher. Since then I’ve been mostly self taught, though I owe a debt of gratitude to a series of generous mentors whose constructive criticism over the years has challenged me to improve my technique and expand my imagination. My first published photographs were taken to illustrate my work as a newspaper reporter and freelance writer, but later, as I followed a career path that led to ordained ministry in the Episcopal Church, my intent has shifted from showing what happened to exploring what matters, and my photography has become a spiritual discipline. My work has been included in juried exhibitions including the Phillips Mill Photo Exhibition and the Jack Rosen Commemorative Documentary Photography Exhibition, and my video artist statement titled “Loving the World” was featured in Phillips Mill’s 2022 “Beyond the Frame” online exhibit. I also received an honorable mention in the 2023 Pennsylvania Magazine photography contest. |
