Perhaps my all-time favorite photographer is Mr. Christopher Burkett. I had the good fortune to meet him about ten years ago at a gallery in Delaware, USA. His website is http://www.christopherburkett.com/ and I highly recommend a visit. It’s a good website, but it doesn’t do justice to the quality of the color that Burkett captures in his prints. The prints that I saw at the gallery were stunning. His ability to capture nature is unrivaled. Looking at a 20″ X 20″ print or larger is pure eye candy, something you can not get enough of.
He has a show at a gallery in New York City at present. I hope to work a visit into my schedule. Wouldn’t mind having three or four of his prints on the wall. Viewing his photos on a computer screen is a mere impression of his ability. You must see them en vivo for the full effect. And the full effect is well worth the journey and the price. The prints that I saw were of the IlfoChrome or CibaChrome process. I’m not sure if he still uses this method. Again, the ones I saw were the best in the world, bar none.
Do you have a favorite artist? Let me know.
