Richard Stockwell: Photographer
|
Artist's Statement
I am a native Minnesotan with roots in the arts and music of the sixties. Much of my youth was spent in the Lake Minnetonka area and this is where my love of the outdoors developed. My photography is based on things that most of us drive by every day, but don't take the time to stop and appreciate and, as such, I often refer to my work as "Drive-By Shooting."
I am a "natural light" photographer - meaning that I do not use flash guns, reflectors or other auxiliary lighting. I believe that natural light is the key to the beauty and mood of what I see and try to capture.
I believe we are incredibly lucky here in the Minnesota River Valley to have so much that is still open and undeveloped. My hope is that my photographs will encourage people to stop and look at the beauty around us and strive to keep it here for generations to come.
