DALE M REID
Poetic

In 2011, the oyster mushroom captured my imagination because of its bizarre and varied shape, alien texture, and intricate detail. The uniqueness of each mushroom provides me the opportunity to push my creativity. With these images I used my composition, lighting and darkroom skills to take an ordinary mushroom and to use the abstract qualities to create a poetic statement.
While it has been said that my mushroom images are reminiscent of Edward Weston's “Bell Pepper” series and that my photographic style echoes the Group f/64, the development of the unique set of skills allows me to personalize my images.
