Suzanne
has been photographing for over 30 years, some of those years more
directly engaged in the process of exhibiting photographs than others.
Her learning started in the darkroom with black and white images
focusing on tonality and the control of light. She’s now in the digital
age, focusing on tonality and the control of light. |

Suzanne is inspired by broad expansions of light and color, beauty in
nature and the landscapes that surround her. She photographs the icons
of our age that are slowly disappearing; drive-ins, barns, movie theatre
marquees. She is drawn to capturing the “beautiful impermanence and
rustic decay” symbolized in the Japanese phrase, “Wabi-Sabi”. |
Both in
photography and in life, Suzanne uses her unique vision and intends an
outcome. Ansel Adams, in his book, The Camera, said “The term
visualization refers to the entire emotional-mental process of creating
a photograph, and as such, it is one of the most important concepts in
photography.” |
