Conceptual nominee

Last year I presented evidence we have been and continue to be the focus of scrutiny by “Visitors” – purposeful travelers from other worlds in our vast universe we are only now just beginning to better understand.

While it is conceivable one might capture a fleeting glimpse of a ‘spaceship’ having camera at hand when the incomprehensible occurs right before our eyes, no entity (“spaceman”?: “Extraterrestrial”) capable of interstellar travel is likely to sit for a portrait or be caught unawares for a candid record of their activities here on earth.

So what then?

I am left with imagining who/what these visitors are.

What form would they take (if any at all)? What would they do here? Are they ‘good’ or are they ‘bad’?

What would “Contact” with these Visitors be?

I started as a printmaker (lithographs and silk screen) utilizing a photo process; then worked for a while in a commercial silkscreen shop.

I moved ‘out West’ and worked briefly as a Photo Assistant, then segued into the Film Industry where I built a related production service as a Location Scout.

With the advent of “digital” I gladly threw myself into learning how best to process my work using Lightroom and Photoshop; so when I left Film and Photo Production I became obsessed with the process of photo editing. (Though digital cameras can make wonderful images they are never Ready To Go ‘out of the can’.)

My ongoing experimentation with PS, LR, a few related plugins and 3D content I pull from Pixelsquid, utilizing my own site library built over two and a half decades as a Location Scout and occasionally reworking content from Creative Commons photo portals like Unsplash now-and-then tapping stock photo sites for additional high-res ingredients I can continue my intended evolution to build images that will fool the mind’s eye instead of dazzling the ComicCon crowd with Photoshop World/Candyland colors and efex for another brief dopamine hit.
