CAMERA

Light disperses the silver
on film in the shadow
and memory is trapped
in the blink of an eyelash.
The kiss, the laugh, the poised hoof
are framed in an instant.
A century ago Daguerre dipped a pencil
in the eye of the sun
and etched an image of man
on the surface of metal,
making the past present
and the dead men to linger
pursuing the living
with love from the lintel.
Memory clings to the wall
bent sapling, hair blowing
mast bent to the starboard.
The wind forever in motion
because time stumbles in darkness
on a splinter of light.

A.M. Sullivan

ABOUT ME

I sold my first photograph in 1975 and kept a camera in my hand ever since, making pictures and learning through various classes and finally a BFA from Sonoma State University in Northern California. I started with traditional black and white silver prints and mixed media, and made the switch to digital in 2001.

I have exhibited in galleries, restaurants, and public spaces across Canada and the U.S., and sold work for portraits, portfolios, advertising, and websites.

I made this site as a sampler of my digital work suitable for publishing or matted and framed presentation. For a look at some of my creative work, click here. Any pictures of people with recognizable faces have model releases.

All images are watermarked and displayed on the small side to prevent internet theft, however the original files are all sharp enough and most are large enough for printing at least up to 8x12. Email me an inquiry about specific images and I can provide exact dimenensions and detail samples at full resolution as well as print prices.

If you see a subject you're interested in, email me for similar images not shown here. All business is very much appreciated!
