Subject: GESO intro/extrospection & a Father's Day connection
This is something of a Father's Day tribute.
I had a difficult relationship with dear old Dad, who passed last
November at 91. He could be autocratic and controlling, but he got me
started into engineering, around which my entire career was built. And
he had a way of pointing out uncomfortable truths. I will never forget
that moment when, after proudly displaying a collection of my early
best-of shots to him, with a note of disappointment in his voice he
said, "but there are no people in any of these."
That stung, but that implied question drilled into my head and refused
to be dislodged until I gave in and promised myself to try shooting
people. What a revelation that was! Unexpectedly it has made me a more
confident person, especially dealing with women, a major part of the
population I've never been able to look right in the eye for my entire
life.
So to get concrete: here are my latest retouches from my most recent
studio shoot with Dorrie Mack, an art/life model. I can honestly admit
that these were only made possible because of my father's blunt but
innocent observation a few years ago.
