| Roger Podva Portland OR Starting out in the 1980's with Pencil, pen & ink, oils, acrylics and finally to oil pastels I always created dark natured images. From skulls to scenes of mayhem I ventured into creating my own creatures. I always felt I wasn't accurately "fleshing" out the images that were in my head. Then the 1990's came along and photoshop was discovered. I had taken beginning and advanced photo(film) classes in high school, but my patience wouldnt support a love of film. In art classes at CCAC and high school I always disagreed with instructors about the content and direction of my art and so I claim more to be self taught. The same I feel is true in photography for me. I have unconventional views about what makes a good photo. While some maybe great at the technical aspects of photography they typically lack the"Eye". I think you can learn technical aspects along the way if you have an eye for things. In basketball they say you cant teach height and i think its the same for photography, you cant teach vision, it has to be there. In the late 1990's i picked up a Nikon Coolpix 990 and started snapping pics of anything that would sit in front of me. Then graduating into Digital SLR's made me start focusing on light and shadow , the balance between. I reside in Portland Oregon now which has a healthy undercurrent of sideshow material to keep me running around like a madman, which i have been described as, many times. |
