Darkness, Ode to Black

This final piece is perhaps the most unusual and cryptic conceptual piece I have created to date. It was taken during the Canon Digital Life Photo Marathon, premised on the theme of darkness. If photography is the study of light and its interplay with objects and elements, what then is this empty canvas, with naught but a patch of black? This piece seeks to challenge that convention that even the absence of an image remains a photograph, that it holds its place as a form of high art. Ultimately, it is the intent, and the interpretation of the work, and the valuation placed upon it by the artist and its viewers, that elevate it to that platform.
