All the photographs in this submission are Untitled, and are 17x22 Inch Archival Pigment Prints from B+W Scanned Negatives. The Light Of A Fading Sun, is about a spiritual exploration for balance found within the project, each singular archival pigment prints, and in our lives. This project represents itself in the form of visual dualities that I continue to encounter in both my internal and external worlds. The principle of Yin-Yang is the simplest way of illustrating the balance of these dualities. Driven by a love of mystery, I find myself searching for visual vignettes (moments) that express these dualities. These moments are often found during an active journey to make photographs, or they are captured passively as the instance occurred spontaneously in front of me. The concept of finding a balance (either within a singular photographic subject, in the use of pairs, and in each set of sequences within the book) mirrors the internal balance I seek as a human being and as an artist. A fading sun brings the darkness of the night, but that darkness is always followed by the morning dawn. The photographs in this submission are presented as a small grouping illustrative of these above themes, and thus they are taken from a larger body of work intended to be viewed as a complete photobook submitted along with this entry.
