Robert Glenn Ketchum


When I see Robert Glenn Ketchum's body of work, I first think 'windows xp wallpaper background'.  I think of the images that come with computers, so you can decorate your computer background with 'pretty pictures'.  They are beautiful nonetheless. But I also begin to see that it's more of a statement for the preservation and conservation of nature.  Making interest arise for that movement.  His compositions strike an interest in me when I view how he lays out the photograph.  The way he includes bright contrasting colors and how he carefully uses them.  There is no over-saturation, very detailed oriented. I feel they are very believable where in these days manipulation seems to be everywhere.
