Artist Statement for Rod Millar
|
|
|
I am a professional photographer specializing in 360-degree panorama photography. Twenty
years ago I "discovered" southern Utah. I photographed the wonders of the canyon country with conventional format cameras and failed to capture the totality of what I saw. I was missing something. The Navaho express it so simply in The Beauty Way:
With beauty before me, may I walk
With beauty behind me, may I walk
With beauty above me, may I walk,
If it is finished in beauty,
It is finished in beauty
I realized that it took a panoramic view to capture the beauty I saw. My first panoramic photographs were made by gluing together consecutive photographs to make a 360-degree picture. Then I discovered the Hulcherama camera, a shutterless, motor-controlled camera that rotates in a circle making a single-image 360-degree photograph. There is no viewfinder. I learned to pre-visualize the final photograph. Only after the film is processed do I learn if I succeeded.
17 years using the Hulcherama camera has given me a new understanding of the geometry of panoramic photographs.
My art has evolved and now includes digital art and sculpture where I have taken my new perspective on the world to create images both new to the world and transformed from the world.
It is finished in beauty.
