"MY ATTITUDE" by Chris Brown
As far as we know, we live on the best planet in the universe.
It is our own Garden of Eden, at just the right temperature, with good
things to eat, and, it is the most beautiful place there is.

Humankind has accomplished some amazing things.
We have created beautiful art, architecture, music and philosophy. We
have come to understand much about the world we live in and how it
works; we can fly around the world and into space; we have made some
wonderful toys for ourselves. Yet, for all the beauty and ingenuity of
our creations, we have not improved the beauty of our home.

When we are able to get away from that part of the landscape
dominated by man-made projects and activities, one always finds
spiritual peace and rejuvenation. I have spent much of my life living in
the wilderness, and my photography is both homage to our home, and
an attempt to share some of the beauty, and solace, that derives from
wild places. We sometimes destroy that which nourishes us, and what
we love--so we need to be more careful with our Garden.
For almost thirty years I have made of images of the landscape, which
is an endlessly delightful source of aesthetic pleasure and
contemplative inspiration for me. My quest has been to make prints
that speak as strongly to the viewer as the original experience was to
me. I began making Ilfochrome prints, which were the most colorful,
sharp and permanent print medium available. Recent advances in
digital equipment and printing materials have given me a level of
artistic control I only dreamed about in the darkroom. Now I can
control my colors, values, composition, sharpness and content to a
degree not possible in the darkroom. For me, photography is still the
art of seeing, and now I can express my vision more clearly and
strongly than ever. Artistically, this is terribly exciting.

I make my prints look as close to the original scene as I can
remember it. My choices of light, composition, value and color palette
often lead people to think my prints are paintings. The world is such
an astounding place that I am always in awe. The longer I live, the
more things I see. As a literalist, I don’t have much imagination to
make things up, so my photography is quite literal. The most common
question about my prints is: "Are these colors real; or do you intensify
them?" Isn’t it interesting that we don’t ask the same question of
black and white photographers, or landscape painters?

I make prints.
They are two-dimensional, simple representations, using inks on
paper, of a vastly complex world. They should be appreciated as
prints on the wall, not confused with the real thing. We expect
photography to represent "reality," but with the advent of digital
processes, we are distrustful photographs, and seek reassurance of
their veracity. While color photography is closer to visual "reality"
than any other medium, it may be time to reevaluate the usefulness
of this expectation, and allow ourselves to experience the
metaphorical and evocative qualities of photography.
