“Carved Pear #1” Russ Widstrand Photographer As soon as I saw Robert’s image, I knew which image I had to post. The lines, shapes and forms of the last two images lead me to only one choice - one of the images from my Pear Series, works on Polaroid film.
This body of work is the result of a long period of introspection and self-examination. The impetus for this series was a yearning to create beautiful images once again. After spending years in the cerebral machinations of the commercial arena, my response was to engage a
vulnerability of spirit and heart I had not touched upon in my photography for sometime.
