RICK McKENZIE
"Through my photographs, I like to share the world I see and imagine with others.
The inspiration to create a particular image comes from the play of light on the landscape and from patterns that occur in the natural and the man-made world. Much of my work is based upon my interpretation of nature through time. Many photographs are made to “capture the moment” but what we experience is more of an extended moment. I use both the camera and computer to produce my photographic art. The camera is employed as a tool with the intention of imparting a sense of realism to the scene while the computer allows for modifications to the story which can present the viewer with a different perspective on the world around them. In each image, I hope to help the viewer feel that she/he is seeing the familiar but through the added dimension of time. Courses at Mohawk college and The Dundas Valley School of Art were my formal training. In addition, I have learned from many individuals over the years and I attribute a lot of my inspiration to the members of the Hamilton Camera Club".
