"California
Gold"
2002
Artist's
Comments: "Digital cameras are like magic to me. For years I've taken snapshots
with film cameras, just to record what's going on in my life. I've made no effort
to study photography. I've just snapped pictures with a basic snapshot camera
and turned in the film for developing. I'm
now taking snapshots with my recently purchased 2MP digital snapshot camera,
and looking at the results, proves to me, it's the camera. It must have magic
in it, for I've never seen such images. With no computer enhancement, what I
saw, is what I got, and what you see."
"Jewel's
Eye"
2002
Artist's Comments: "If you look closely at the reflection in Jewel's
eye, you can see me taking the picture and also a paint horse who is standing
beside her along the fence. One day I was out putzing around with my camera
and I became intrigued with the reflections in the horse's eyes and how much
information was contained in them. You can see little grains of sand around
her eye from when she rolled in the arena and a fly who has just landed."
