I went looking for something to rattle my tree. Something well out on left field, completely not main stream, at least from where I stand. I found Philip from Lithium Picnic Studio. I found these quotes from others and felt that I should use their words rather than try to guess for myself.
Steve Diet Goedde (Photographer) :
“Philip’s work harnesses the three components of great photography: understanding lighting, knowing composition, and bringing out the beauty of his subjects. I love being able to look through his eyes. He’s one of my favorite photographers out there, period.”
Michael Hussar (Painter) :
“Although he uses a camera. Make no mistake about it Philip is a Painter. He paints with Light… His palette is a prism as rich and painterly as any Goya or Velasquez or Vermeer. Through the vessel that is the Female Landscape, he effortlessly establishes a direct and powerful visual dialogue with the viewer that is both voyeuristic and present.”
Chad Michael Ward (Photographer)”:
“There’s no mistaking an Lithium Picnic image when you see it. Iconographic in form and perfectly understated in color, Lithium Picnic has carved a very defined niche in modern photography. With equal parts fashion and fetish and a keen eye for composition, Picnic’s work is as powerful and precise as the coming storm. You’ve been warned.”

My interest in photography goes back as far, if not further, than I can remember. My Grandfather had a thing called a box brownie and i remember being amazed at how it recorded history. I was given a 120 film camera when I was about 10 as evidenced by some black and white photos I recently found of my sister when she was 5 or so - she turned 40 in 2008.
So from recording history, through the passage of an EOS 5 film into digital and moving into a desire to 'make images' rather than take photos, I find myself here.
Photography. "For the thrill of it."
Photography. "It's where life is happening."
Photography. "When time stands still."
Photography. "Maybe it's just about being there again."
