Tornillo Texture Canvas Print

On the banks of the Rio Grande River, at it's confluence with Tornillo Creek in Boquillas Canyon, one finds a beautiful hot spring. It is frequently visited by travelers who hike the area of Big Bend National Park. The sunscreen oil washes off their skin, floats on the surface of the water and that's what gives this image it's texture.
Photography has come along as a artistic avenue for releasing that creative edge some of us struggle to let out.
Art is the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others. So as I venture out creating image after image and spend hours in the digital darkroom, I develop the first required item, skill. As for imagination, if we free ourselves from external limitations, we begin to think outside the box.
So photography is an art form without rules. Now that, is a game I can play.

I am a New Mexico based Adventure Riding/Rafting/SCUBA Outdoor Digital Photographer, always on the qui vive for what Nature and humans provide. Capturing an image in my camera is but the first step in an artistic process. That initial bit of information then can pass through countless permutations before being declared complete. The journey from capture to completion is a lawless territory. If photography is an art, then there are no rules.
