Al Weems

ARTIST STATEMENT

Everything I photograph begins with an observation of light. I try to use the balance of that light to try to compose the measure of my images. It is the fun I get from looking for that light, seeing that light and utilizing it that makes my mind very happy.

I love when observers question the content, composition and presentation of an image. If they like it great, if they don’t then we all move on.
