…when you pick up a camera the options are limitless. The worlds of spectacular and lack luster are very close to one another.  Anyone who has taken a shot they love knows that the shot before and the shot after were failures.  As photographers, we swim in a visual world where things can go either way, in the fraction of a second.  But when we can anticipate and understand how our decisions can impact an image, that awareness lets us become more than observers.  We become authors. If you have a chance to visit Danny’s show at Edwynn Houk Gallery (745 5th Ave #407, New York), I highly recommend it.  Take a few moments, in the silence of the gallery to look at this picture.  Take in the many dimensions it holds.  It is a picture of relaxed beauty that never turns itself over to the sentimental.  Almost forty years later, it is a reminder that the complexities of life are no different now then they have ever been throughout history.  And as artists, we are invited to examine how the universal qualities of human existence change in their expression, but always retain their connection to the past……
