ARTIST SHOWCASE - "Jack Collins""

"I want to explore the human need that requires each of us to balance the two extremes, using the sensibilities of black and white photography as my medium. "  

We are looking at Jack Collins and his digital photography in today's showcase. Based out of Denver, Colorado - Jack explores with infrared and alternative digital photography. We took a look at his website and found very intriguing photography. He keeps it simple with Black and White photography, ranging from headshots to cityscapes to landscapes and body shots.

Artist Statement 

Love and Forgiveness
My work is about acceptance
Acceptance of things we cannot change
To learn WHY they should NOT change
Using opposites
Black and white
Male and female
Life and death
Opposites that ultimately attract
Halves of the same whole
We are all dots moving along a linear course
Waiting to be pushed and pulled
Learning to exert the energy, to control the forces,
Ultimately, required to change in order to resume the linear path
My work is about education and the need to evolve
When balancing, one must go towards the center, the middle gray, and move outward in all directions, such as the spokes of a wheel, that all lead to the same place from a different point, and ultimately with the same purpose. 

We are all seeking to balance and achieve a rich tapestry of detail,
purpose, and interest to our individual pictures, while creating a mosaic of ONE.

I want to explore the human need that requires each of us to balance the two extremes, using the sensibilities of black and white photography as my medium.

Black and white photography mixes light and dark beautifully, with a
balanced and acceptable tonal range.

My two personal extremes are religion and sexuality, and my work is about breaking down the false ideas that bind me, whether in the dark or the light.  Visit My Site -- Click Here
