Lee S. Reynolds
Artist’s Statement

In 1990, I began to take photography seriously.  I joined a photography club in order to learn from those already practicing the art.  Classes came next.  Those included techniques, darkroom, and field work.  I concentrated on landscapes.  I traveled many places photographing what I saw.  This was interesting, and expanded my knowledge of photography.

Then one day in 2007, I was working on the photo of a flower.  While in Photoshop, I began to wonder just what all was available to me.  Then came experimentation.  I tried many of the options available, and was amazed by what was created.  Then I began, in earnest, to experiment with flowers.  They were a natural for the work I was creating. 

I had discovered something that gave me a sense of satisfaction that I had not found before.  Each time I start out I never know what the end result may be.  I work until the image makes me happy.  Then I stop.  Each image is unique, because I never write down the steps I take to complete the image.  Therefore, each one is one of a kind.
