One of the reasons I make photographs is to take people to a different place. In the last year or so I was ruminating about this law of thermodynamics that says matter can be neither created nor destroyed but can change form.
As a scientist/artist I landed on a thought about this and was struck with the idea that people become just energy once they have taken on another form and that that energy is the space between people.
This series entitled "The Space Between People" is my photographic essay about this very thought.
The "backgrounds" are created from original images I photographed in and around Acadia National Park of fall leaves, pine needles, lichen and larch. The spheres are from clip art and the images are softened in focus to produce an atmospheric sense.
My images are about color, shape, depth of field, nature and the medium itself.
