Steve O’Bryan presents “The Images Between” on June 20, 2016 at 7pm, Lone Tree Civic Center.
- Apart from any technical considerations, why do we shoot the images we shoot? Images essentially come from the inside out – a kind of unconscious self-portraiture.
- This process transcends whatever personal style the photographer has and becomes the first level of meaning the photograph may have.
About Steve O’Bryan
I have taught university-level ancient Greek and Roman history, art, and culture for twenty-plus years. From that perspective, there is nothing new under the sun.
I completed both my undergraduate degree (History of Art) and my graduate program (Ancient Greece and Rome history) at UCLA.
But I also take photographs, seriously since 2009/10. My company, Wild Basin Photography / Gallery, is located in the North Boulder Art District. My portfolio is filled with images of Colorado and the Rocky Mountain West, but also images from Rome, Florence and Northern New Mexico (Santa Fe, Abiquiu, Taos, and Ghost Ranch – Georgia O’Keeffe’s landscape).
A number of artists have had a profound influence on my ‘photographic thinking’: Georgia O’Keeffe, and the American photographers, Galen Rowell (the Sierra, Yosemite, among many places), and Sally Mann, of Lexington, Virginia.
