| "I travel around the world to
observe uncommon landscapes and rare
wildlife. My camera, my notebook and I are inseparable on these intense
field trips. I visited the Galapagos islands twice to study
its unique
wildlife and volcanic landscapes. Soon after, I visited a
tiny zoo in
Bermuda. Unexpectedly, from the top of a small hill, I saw
two
Galapagos tortoises. The view from above and the dramatic
light
offered a unique and strong composition. Combining this
concept with
previously acquired knowledge of the subject, I created "Galapagos
Tortoises". (artwork and text published in the "Strokes of Genius 2" book (2009)) |
