“[T]he work invites confusion on several levels, and that ‘meaning’ is generated in the process of ‘sorting things out.’ On the most obvious level, we all expect photographs to be pictures of something. We assume that the photographer observed a place, a person, an event in the world and wanted to record it… . The problem with my work is that these images are really not of anything in that sense, they register only that which is incidental.” -Uta Barth

“Unnatural History”

I am often asked questions about the inspiration for my work as well as my working process. As a ‘non-traditional’ photographer (I construct my subject matter rather than go find it) people find it hard to grasp what exactly it is that I do. And the fact that it is all done in front of the camera, with no digital manipulation, adds its own set of challenges. Building materials, lighting, issues of scale and space all become significant when you are recreating the world on a table top. I’ve listed a few of the more frequently asked questions and my responses. Hope you enjoy.

I paint in acrylic and oil, large and small, abstract and sometimes portraits too. You can always contact me for custom orders, or as we say in the art world: commissions. It is a super fun process, and you can learn all about it here!

If you can’t afford a plane ticket, or it’s just not the right time for a voyage, the best way to travel is by opening a book.
May I suggest a trip to California with East of Eden by John Steinbeck? Or even Paris, with The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery. The travel possibilities are endless where books are concerned.

The Question that Changed My Life.

by, David Ryser

A number of years ago, I had the privilege of teaching at a school of ministry. My students were hungry for God, and I was constantly searching for ways to challenge them to fall more in love with Jesus and to become voices for revival…
