Praiseworthy Arts, Pulaski, TN
The path that lead me to the onramp to fine art photography began in 1982 when I was gifted a 35mm Minolta X-370 SLR for my high school graduation by my adoptive parents, who apparently saw my budding interest in this form of art. Up until then, I had only experimented with traditional mass-marketed 110mm film cameras, always disappointed in their lack of detail and close-up qualities. But it was fun, nevertheless and I will always have a degree of nostalgia looking back at those developed snapshots that grace my collection of old photo albums, the kind that have a binder and archival quality paper the images are stuck to. While today's digital technology is certainly impressive for a geek like me, I wouldn't trade that early exposure to photography, nor the ability to actually develop film in a darkroom; anyone from that era can probably still smell the chemistry used in that process.
Fast forward to 2012-2016, I steadily worked toward a BFA in Integrated New Media at Indiana University South Bend, near the University of Notre Dame after abandoning my desire for a dual business and music degree. It was here that my foundation in digital arts was created, gratefully.
Much of my fine art available here can be acquired at wholesale, and especially the inspirational posters I'm gravitating towards that have low entry price points with negotiable margins. I can even arrange for framed samples with certain minimum purchases. (photography website will be active again by 2/28/26).
