“Terrors and Pleasures of Levitation”
Monday, April 6th, 2009
When I was shooting these images of my daughter, I instantly recalled the work of one of my favorite photographers, Aaron Siskind. His expertise and talent in the darkroom is almost unmatched. While in college, I had the opportunity to go through an original portfolio box of his prints from “Terrors and Pleasures of Levitation”. There are artists that stay with you. Their images come back to you through your own viewfinder. Mr. Siskind’s work is the type of work that does not translate well into books. You simply have to see his prints in person…or be standing in the right place with the right lens while your daughter is flying through the air.
