Chip's profile
My photographs reveal a life presence found in rocks, streams, urban streets, puddles, and other organic places. Though often hidden beneath the surface, I attempt to reflect this by closely observing the surfaces of the natural world.
Some of my photographs are simply observation, while other pieces are created by altering small environments, for example, placing a leaf into a puddle or fabricating a site-specific still life.
I use a variety of image-making tools, including cameras with interchangeable lenses, DSLRs, and advanced digital point-and-shoot cameras. I rely more on working with the time-of-day, location, and the camera’s point-of-view, over post processing and other computer-generated effects.
