Years back, I saw Edward Burtynsky speak at the Alberta Art Galleries (AGA) Ledger theatre. I marvelled at the time how well he spoke and how confident an eloquent he was. I hoped that some day I could do something close to me.
Today I received a comment from a friend who attended the Images Alberta Talk.
"I was really impressed with your presentation at Images Alberta. How your discussion worked with the pictures you showed. And of course, how powerful they are. Not to mention the quality of the images you showed. Among other things, it made me think of a parellel with Edward Burtinsky, in that it's often discussed that he often makes beautiful pictures of ugly things and places. You make great photos of real people in "ugly" situations. In both cases, this tension is part of what makes his and your pictures so powerful."
Note* Obviously I ain't no Burtinsky but it was still nice to read. Thanks ----- for the kind words.
