Still Life: What the artist sees

by Jon Katz
What the artist sees

 

I am drawn to still lifes this week. I think photos of the animals, landscapes, portraits, are about the exterior world. Still life photos are about what the photographer or the artist sees. When you live with an artist, your interior landscape is dotted with things that touch the artist’s soul – I am always surprised and delighted by what this most wonderful woman, my wife, will put up on a windowsill. Rocks, carvings, gifts she has stored like a pack rat or a creative squirrel. I never see her put them up or take them down. They are just there, and this morning, I was drawn to photograph some of them. Others I put up on my Facebook Page, which you can all access simply by going to the FB logo above. If you are a Facebook member, you can just click to “like” me and you will have permanent access to the posts there. If you are not a FB member, you can join easily. Or not.
