Artist Statement There are “two” Photo’s Ed James. One part has taken thousands of color photographs of weddings, christenings, graduations and family events for the purpose of supporting my art. However, there is another part of me who has, for the past 40 years, taken thousands of black and white photographs of the obscure, the lonely, the sad, the bizarre and the unnoticed things in life. They were often things that were more beautiful and unique in their own way, if we had taken a moment to stop and truly see them. These are some of those images that have never been for sale or shown but to a very few people. For me, every picture tells a story of time, a place, or person in my life. I have chose to put this display on in black and white for two reasons. The first is because black and white is the medium I was trained in by some of the best Nova Scotia photographers. Secondly, I have found that color distracts or hides the real message or purpose of some photographs. Each of these moments in time represent one image from the years 1967—2007, as I looked at life through the view finder over the past 40 years. I have chosen these to show as they are what I consider more realistic of the world around us. This show of 70 black and white memories will probably mark the beginning of the end of my photographic career because traditional photographic materials are getting hard to find. I have also not chosen to become part of the digital generation. I freely admit that I am a dinosaur in my photo craft and my past life is now longer than the future. However, perhaps this exhibition will help you remember a special person, place, thing or time from somewhere in your life. For life is short, do what you can with what you have and try your best to get along with others in the world.
