About the Item

The past year afforded more time than normal for stillness and observation. I am thrilled to be alive and sentient. I love making things, whether it be building a guitar, cooking a meal for my wife, making a vase or setting up a little stage to take a photograph. I have never lost the excitement of seeing an image on the ground glass, turning on the lights to view a new negative in the hypo, brushing platinum sensitizer on a piece of paper or viewing a final print. It is all magical. The natural world is astonishing and the amount of diversity is truly unbelievable. Flowers engage me. I am interested in a dialogue between the bloom and an environment. Being present in the liminal space is intoxicating and the anticipation of change is thrilling. I am interested in human interaction with nature. I am blessed with time and joyful to be alive. Photography helps me to see and to remember where I have been and to cherish this remarkable place. -- James Pitts
