This is an interesting article on how digital imaging has changed photography over the years, it focuses on some of Tom Chambers' work.

Little Bit of Background

I was born on a farm in the religiously conservative area of Southeastern Pennsylvania. After high school I joined the Navy and spent a year on a patrol boat base in Vietnam which profoundly affected my outlook on life. Drawing from these experiences of my earlier years, it is easy for me to visualize a photographic image which uses children in peril to symbolically make a statement. I traveled throughout Mexico and the Southwestern United States where I was influenced by Mexican Indian religious art, retablos and masks.

In 1985 I graduated from the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida with a degree in graphic design. My family and I currently reside in Virginia where I work as an art director to supplement my photography habit.

Tom Chambers

Tom Chambers is great photographer and his images produce emotions in me that I can connect too. “With digital photography I desire to move beyond documentation of the present, and rather seek to fuse reality and fantasy in musing about possibilities of the future” (Chambers, T, Burn).
