Joseph Holmes – Magical

“Color photography is coming of age as an art form, making it feasible for photographers to rival the finest painting and exceed the standards set by the finest traditional black & white photography, thanks in large part to stunning advances in the many technologies of modern imaging. The many destructive vagueries, flavors and limitations of chemical processes need no longer impose themselves onto one’s photographs. The intelligence and flexibility of digital processes have begun to make it possible to reveal both the truth of a scene and one’s artistic intent far better than ever before. I remain dedicated to the task of realizing in every way the quality and scope of work which the new methods have made possible.”
