A sunset, a mountain vista, a quiet lake, a field of flowers, and many other things are pleasant to look at and admire. They might even be considered beautiful. But I believe the most beautiful thing to look at is a woman. Besides, one can not easily touch a sunset. Therefore, in this exhibit I hope to show some of the beautiful and graceful Curves of a Woman.

I believe that in order to reveal a subject with feeling or passion, whether in photography or in any art medium, one needs to love that subject. I not only love the subject but I also love my model – my wife. I believe this intimacy leads to an affectionate interpretation of the female body. In other words, though these images were viewed through a camera, they were seen through the heart.

I wanted to create somewhat abstract photographs that evoke an eloquent feeling. Thus the photographs in this exhibit are minimalist in nature by utilizing a low-key style that is punctuated with highlights that (hopefully) show off the curves of the female body.

These images were taken with a 4x5 inch film camera in order to parallel the smoothness of a woman’s skin. I believe film has a quality unmatched compared to digital. Detail is unsurpassed with film – with all of life’s blemishes – a mole, a scar – visible to all – not sanitized by digital manipulation – real. Like life. Give praise to the natural woman. Admire the Curves of a Woman, any woman.

I hope you enjoy these images as much as I did when I took them.
