I recently ran across an article about Artist Statements and there were a few reproduced to show the gamut of what artists are writing. I have written them myself and have always felt that my wording was much simpler than so many of the ultra-pretentious ('can't find the appropriate words). Then, often, after writing such re-read them again after some time to soak, and gee, found the pretentiousness in my own words. I'm currently using one along with an unconventional resume for my gallery work and thinking (from my own experience of reading those of others) that it doesn't matter what is said (nobody reads them-all the way through) certain words must be used... universal, all-encompassing, transcendent, mystical, deepening, glowing, unchanging, photographic, visionary, luminous, spiritual, life-affirming, artistic, intrinsic, insight, reality, perception, experience, concept, unveiling, realization... I use some of them. 'how 'bout you? I double-dare you to share yours. ( here's mine )Peace Tags: about me

I met and photographed lots of folks on the trails this past weekend. As I get time, I'll post images I made of these skiers, snowshoers, and hikers... but here's a teaser, heh, This photo was made by Noah Tratt. I met Noah a couple years ago when his group skied to High Hut... that's where I saw them again this weekend. Good snow conditions... good grooming (*pats self on back*) and I got onto my skis a few times along the way to test the trail... I skied mostly uphill... I do better going uphill--I'm not in a panic like when my skis go by themselves. If I photographed you and you don't see your photo here soon, please email me. ed at edbookphoto dot com Noah caught me near High Hut and was surprised to see me actually on skis... (please note that, yes, the Ed guy is fat but that fact is exaggerated in this image because I had two hats, a pair of gloves, and a water bottle stuffed into the front of my jacket--the red vest actually does zip shut)  Peace Tags: about me, mount tahoma trails, mountains, self portraits, snow, trail, winter
