-Clearlight-'s photostream
|
Photography is important to me. It has become my way of showing the viewer how I see the world around me. Whether I am working in black and white or color, my goal is always to make my images distinctive in their style and thematic content.
Driven by a general moodiness, I work most often at night or in the small windows of time allowed by sunsets, twilight, or the cloud cover that comes from a passing storm. My landscapes, while not minimalist, tend to be stark and despairing and the themes of my urban images are most often of vintage signage, particularly neon, as objects of both art and advertisement.
Many of my photographs- even when taken indoors- display a preference for the impressionistic use of light, used sparingly and with stark contrast.
In the end all I really want to know is… can you feel it?

Feeling Croppy says:
"When I see signs and neon, I invariably think of Marc's work. I adore his style, and I admire his love for nature and people and music and all the good in life captured in his photography.
It has been one of my flickr and personal highlights meeting Marc and spending time shooting with him, chatting, laughing, dining, and especially hugging such a wonderfully friendly and kind person. Marc is and will always be a dear friend to me.
I have seen and met the light-- and it was good!"11th January, 2011

Thomas Hawk says:
"Clearlight is a strong and evocative photographer behind the camera. I'm fortunate to have been able to shoot with him in person and to call him a friend. He consistently finds interesting and unique subject matter full of feeling and human interest. He also has what is probably the finest collection of Southern California neon photography that exists. Watching his work with neon especially has improved my own photography in this area. Take some time and get to know him and his stream."
