Joe Kerr - Born and raised on the Canadian prairie where the vision is one of a broad and neverending horizon often splashed with unbelievable sunsets. Photography is an artistic tool that helps me express myself. Thirty years of experimenting through a lens, then developing the results, have exposed me to many new ideas. In 1997 I embraced the digital age. Uniting photography and computer technology opened a new world of visions. I bring to you, through this web gallery, my new horizons of images. Most have been captured with Nikon equipment using a selection of lenses and a network of digital processing power. All my CSCS images are original digitally painted stories of light, texture, color, contrast and content. I hope you'll enjoy your visit. Joe Kerr...

While the artist's conception is important in-so-far-as it expresses something original (and/or freshens how we perceive the world around us), I believe it is equally important that the concept be inspiring and not merely cleverly unique. Photography is not currently my main source of income. My livelihood is management consultation work which takes me around the world. It is traveling, with its expatriate experience of being apart from the familiar, which infects my vision and shapes my choice of perspective. This fuels my inspiration to create a photograph imbued with the magic of that particular setting at that particular moment in time. While travel is a big part of what motivates my creative process, it is this "stranger in a strange land" experience which influences all my work. In my last solo exhibition with Beaux Arts David Astrof, ...
