Learning to See
Learning to See
By: Ross Harris
"After graduating from college in 1960, I began to take photographs, excited by the ability the camera gave me to see and explore the world with fresh eyes. Inspired by photographers such as Edward Weston, Paul Strand, Ansel Adams, and Paul Caponigro, I worked hard at the craft, using large-format cameras to achieve the nuance of light, texture, and substance that I wanted. I learned Ansel’s Zone System and mixed my darkroom chemicals from scratch. Drawn to the mystery and magic of the natural world, I sought to capture and express those qualities in my pictures.
Recently I started using a digital camera. Although I loved darkroom work, working on the computer brings me new freedom and possibilities, including the opportunity to try color after years as a black and white photographer. With each picture I hope to create an increased sense of wonder at the world we live in."
