GARY PEREZ

My first memory of having an “Adult” thought was while on vacation with my family. I was about twelve years old and we were somewhere in the botanical garden.

My father walked up behind me and asked me why I was taking the same photo over and over. “It’s just water,” he said. Rather than try to explain I opted not to reply at all and continue my quest.

I was (Using the Kodak 110 camera I had just received for my birthday) trying to capture a sparrow and it’s reflection as it flew back and forth across the reflecting pond building its nest. I failed to capture the shot. I have learned quite a lot since then.

A Camera can not only be used to capture a moment in time but also to create something that no one has ever seen before.  A beautiful artistic expression that draws you in yet leaves you longing for more. Something that you never tire of looking upon.

I hope my work has that effect on you.
