This is an image from my Negativityness series. In this ongoing project, I have been working with shifting the balance and structure of the images, inverting the colors and tonalities, manipulating realities to reflect my feelings of uncertainty and a reversal of normality in the world, resulting from our current political climate. Negativityness is also a kind of play on the importance of the negative in photography. From Henry Fox Talbot through Edward Weston and Ansel Adams, and on into the color era, the creation of a negative image to produce a hand crafted, positive print was a major part of photography, Kodachrome & the SX-70s notwithstanding. With digital photography, we have lost that step in the process, instead choosing immediacy, instant gratification and unlimited distribution over a hands-on, multi-step creative process. I am trying to use the current technology to do things that would not have been possible previously in the analog world, but also at the same time references that long period in the history of photography.

Born and raised in NYC, Robert A. Ripps personal work explores the interaction and intersection of nature and the man-made world, both visually, as well as technically. Since graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) with BFA in photography, he has worked as a commercial photographer, while at the same time, working on diverse personal projects. His book, Urban Trees - Photographs 2009–2014, tries to answer the question, How does a tree grow in Brooklyn, or in other cities, where people and concrete are constantly encroaching? In the monograph, he treats the trees as the tenacious urbanites they are, fighting a never-ending struggle to survive in our modern, man-made world. Robert has won numerous awards, including inclusion in Lürzer's Archive Edition 6- 200best digital artists, American Photography 36 and 39 annuals, multiple honors from Photo District News (PDN), as well as being a part of the Polaroid collection.
