Bob Anderson & Scott F. Smith: Treelines

Scott F. Smith

In the words of Scott F. Smith,“Photography is my passion; it is the way that I embrace my world and it has been for more than fifty years. I never tire of using photography to study light. In addition, the possibility of transforming the literal world into a suggestion of something more is an aspect of this medium that continuously feeds my sense of wonder and delight.

Much of my work has been studio-based constructed imagery but I also frequently venture out into the natural world to find my subjects — and inspiration. Spending time in nature allows me to engage with the ephemerality of light, and it opens my eyes to new patterns and textures. A particular interest has been an abiding fascination with trees. I have been photographing them for years and never cease to be amazed by their infinite variety and sublime beauty. The photographs in this exhibition are drawn from a lifelong journey of engaging — with profound gratitude— the majesty of trees.”
