About

“You just have to live and life will give you pictures.” — Henri Cartier-Bresson.

“An artist and an activist are the same thing.” — Ai Weiwei.

In an era of ubiquitous digital imaging, former filmmaker g. watson embraces the verisimilitude of silver-based photography. Time’s forward motion is arrested and encapsulated as an indelible memory on a physical medium in tones of black, white, and gray. Modern images recorded through early optics are given a veneer of timelessness, reminding us that what is new today is tomorrow’s history. Diverse styles of documentary, allegorical, and personal photography create both observational and declarative statements to provide a catalyst for emotional responses, thoughtful discussion, and positive action.
