Michael East: Digital Photography Artist

My work is about connection and time.The moments I attempt to capture through images, the time and place, are for sharing, for connecting you back to that time, that place, to the emotion, experience, and to bring it to the present.Still images capture the beautiful, strange, unexpected, the unseen, the motion and emotion, in ways that no other medium can. This isn't easy, by the way. If I take a picture of a flower, hopefully it is beautiful all on it's own. But if I can convey more, what I might have experienced or felt, the time of day through the lighting, the season, I am sharing more, giving you more. A beautiful flower in July is beautiful. What about that same flower in early spring sprouting boldy through a late frost?Still images give us endless time to reflect and see the wonder that the person behind the camera was lucky enough to experience and to share in that experience and discovery.
