Photographs are often found art; photographers discover images.  They find a scene and with their vision they make it their own.  Even studio images contain unexpected discoveries for the artist.  A scene viewed through the lens is different from that viewed with the eye.  Distances are compressed or expanded, colors blur and overlap, forms interact, and light (paramount to making an effective photograph) reflects or refracts off surfaces, totally altering a subject. –Artist statement
