Process

“It is really another way of seeing which begins to suggest an acceptance of
other realities….like clouds moving through and around each other in the sky.

“There is here an inter dimension…an inverted 3D experience that you can
tune into when you are looking at this work”I see through my photography, that a natural process paints pictures of life past and present, embedded in all matter. Matter is photo- reflective and reproduces a spirit- like energy from overlapping dimensions. I never manipulate my images. I almost always crop them in the camera frame.
If the picture needs more cropping, I will not use the print.

About the Artist…

The photography of Howard Finkelson creates a palette of form, texture and
color ..a world between painting and photography that is all direct from the eye
of this unique photographer.

Without paint or brush, Howard Finkelson creates images that are both
beautiful and persuasive,with wholly unexpected archetypal images and surfaces that engage at an emotional plane.

Like fingerprints of genetic matter, or fortune-telling lines etched into a
palm, the photography of Howard Finkelson  offers the sense that the universe
spins out multi-level tales and he is decoding them.

Finkelson uses a broad-stroked Gestalt-like approach to capturing the big
picture-his compositions are masterful,sacrificing neither the minute details of
surface or the big picture, allowing both to simply be.
