Retrospective Two

Description

Michael Kenna… is motivated by a thoughtful curiosity, a restless pleasure in travel, a need for solitude, a delight in visualizing his imagination, a magnetic resonance with certain historical sites, (both ancient and modern), a broad love of nature, and most of all, a confidence in his own aesthetic values.
Anne W. Tucker

I derive so much satisfaction from photography precisely because I’ve had the luxury of not caring what the art world thinks of my work. I have been able to use the medium as a way to help choose my personal journey or pilgrimage through this life. Most of the places I have photographed, I chose because I wanted to acknowledge and pay homage to them. I haven’t tried to be different or break any rules. I couldn’t care less what the rules are.
