I have been fascinated with cameras and photography for as long as I can remember. I’m an admirer of nature, a lover of other creatures, soluble in water, questioner of life, gentle in spirit, living with (not battling) depression and anxiety. Life can be a struggle, but appreciating the life around helps push me through. You will see all of this and more, reflected throughout my art. My final art pieces are authentic to the location and original photograph. Even when I create an artistic twist on the original photograph, it is important for me to see the original photograph within and remember what I felt in that place. If done right, art should have the ability to connect us with our feelings and reality. The story it tells may be familiar to the viewer, whether comforting or not. It is my mission to positively impact and influence many lives, more than once while always spreading love and kindness with appreciation and respect for all fellow life through my art. Brian D.
