Joel Kitchens — Last Light, Pedernales State Park

$300.00

2020, Silver Gelatin Photograph, 10x8x1 in.

With my photographs I try to capture a sense of mystery and “spirit of place.” My goal is to reveal beauty and foster serenity that are so vital to our mental and spiritual well-being, but which we so often miss in our hurried and distracted lives. In doing so, my method is to highlight overlooked details, pique viewers’ curiosity, and encourage them to see and experience places anew.

I hope viewers will find my images approachable and feel invited to enjoy a measure of peace and serenity with them. I also hope viewers will find their curiosity piqued, and be inspired to learn more about places or objects in the photographs. Finally, I would like to share a blessing of the Navajo people that, roughly translated, bids “May you walk in beauty.”
