Brimming with heart, yet technically astute. Portraits of the spirit of the land. ABOUT THIS IMAGE: The Black Snakeroot plant is mysterious. It has amazing structure in its leaves with typically dark, leathery warm tones and grows as if creating a world unto itself. This black and white photo was shot on at dusk. It was a new shoot, yellow and sassy in its tone. The cold and the clouds didn’t dampen its shimmer, reflecting to the evening sky a shimmering energy, capturing my eye and my curiosity. How can it be it so deep and shimmery at the same time? The camera tells me it is spirit, shimmering within from in every cell, making its own light in the gloomy dusk that cannot be denied. NOTES FROM THE ARTIST: My photographs are all “straight from the camera”. They are authentic; they are real. My decisions of composition, exposure, and motion are all made at the moment that the shutter is pressed using ONLY natural daylight and surrounding natural plants for background colors and composition. No filters have been used, no retouching or recropping has been involved; no color enhancement of any kind. To do so would defeat what I work so hard to do: truthfully portray to you the beauty and love that exist all around us. You would not believe me if I did it any other way. With a limited edition of 125, this work is printed on Canson Infinity Baryta Photographique 310 gsm Satin paper, a museum grade photo paper showing excellent density and great image sharpness. Each print includes a certificate of authenticity and is signed and numbered by the artist. I am driven by an unending passion to see the moment in which spirit shines through the camera; to be the lucky one to witness that moment and be skilled enough to bring it to light for all of us. Gifts of the soul. As in our gardens, so in our hearts and minds. a.k.a. Debra Willett
