Artist's Statement
For as long as I can remember, I've enjoyed being out in nature more than anything else. I love to share the beauty that I see there, and the fleeting emotion of the moment with others through my photography. I prefer to make black and white photographs because they most challenge my creative and technical skills. Most recently, I've enjoyed exploring the effects I can achieve with digital infrared. When color is essential element of an image, however, I am very comfortable working with color. After a lifetime of using film for my photography, I enjoy the creative control and flexibility of the digital medium. I like the process of producing the best images possible in the digital darkroom even more than I did in the film darkroom. I have several photo projects underway, most of them depicting the beauty of the Texas Hill Country where I live. Early each morning I walk along the Blanco River near Wimberley, where I enjoy seeing and trying to capture the ever-changing quality of the early morning light, chance encounters with wildlife, and the seasonal changes of the landscape. -Herb Smith |
