I don't see myself as a photographer. I still see the photographs and collages as a resource for the painting.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Truthfully, I don't really think of myself as a photographer. I don't have all the disciplines and knowledge of a person who's spent their life devoted to photography.
I still take photographs for my own use, personal studies. I do not feel that I can fully express my views through the medium and this is why I have moved towards painting.
I am a hobbyist photographer so I relate to the visual arts that way, but I'm not a painter.
I did painting before I did photography.
It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

I was brought up on art. My father thought I had a great hand at art and sent me to art school. But he did not want me to become a photographer.
Photography started as a means of getting reference material for my paintings of nature subjects.
I have been told that some of my photographs maybe indicate that I am a painter.
Many people misunderstand me - I'm quite happy to be called a photographer. All of a sudden, the art world has caught up with photography, and they are trying to hijack us.
