- About Me:
- We specialize in avant guard photography and are non discriminitory regarding alternative lifestyes. Edington Spencer Photography our view of art Conspectus Ab Intra(Vision From Within)
Art stimulates the viewer to see the human form in a passioned way. We feel the viewer should feel the photograph is a documentation of an untimate creation. The image reflects a beginning and an end that cannot be avoided by any person. We are born nude and in the end it is the body that dies. Classically the nude depiction has been a statement of both innocence of humanity (Adam and Eve) and also of lustful intentions, the fall from grace.
The nude photograph is a quandry, a constant balance of positive and negative, passion and restraint that makes nude art photography desirable to average person and the learned art collector.
Art in all of its depictions celebrates humanity, seeks to envoke passions of our humanity Our aim is to photograph the model as a depiction of his or her spirit in a manor and style that is both tasteful and evocative. Auguste Rodin observed, "The human body is first and foremost a mirror to the soul and its greatest beauty comes from that".
“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”Leonardo da Vinci
“The best way to know God is to love many things.”Vincent Van Gogh
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”Pablo Picasso

- Art in all its forms for me is a drug. It lures me to observe it relative to my passions and feelings at any specific time to many great artists! I could never get a tatoo, not enough skin to sufficiently express everything id like to say!!

Ideas Ideas
lately it has been such a problem enabling Ideas. I have seen many artists say " I have hit a wall I have inspiration block". I have had the oposite, Ideas keep on coming its orienting the time and having the days to do any art that I find the most frustrating. I think the economy, work family, the results stress on the family due to the economy have all yielded a net total of zero time in my life to express.

Are artists the minority?
In everyday life I have noticed more and more many people around me missing some of the most simple beauty the world has to offer. Maybe we are the minority! positions and opinions welcome..........spence

- Thank you sir.
I see on your photo that you may use a view camera. How often and how old is it? I would love to learn to use one. Well, maybe if they had a 4 x 5 digital back... I remember my old dark room days...
Good luck in Houston my friend.
