Photography always shows aspects of things or of other people that you don’t know of, that are revealed through the photographic process.” ~ Flor Garduño There’s something incredible about the way a photograph can pick out an instant of an experience and almost cauterize it. The shutter drops, the moment is clean, sharp, and permanent. With the shutter speed set perfectly just to capture the chaos of a flock of birds, they are now transfixed. Dotting a negative or silver gelatin print, these figments of birds are imprisoned in the boundaries of the composition. The noise of this very real moment now only a memory guarded by the artist, Flor Garduño. Garduño has a natural way of bringing the immensity of such mythic moments to the boundaries of the cameras lens. Always quite magical.
