The lone Wolf.  Wolves are fascinating creatures.  Hollywood has portrayed them as aggressive malicious animals that attack humans for no reason, when in fact they are quite shy. They will attack if threatened of course as anyone would, but they prefer to live peacefully in their territory. These beautiful creatures form family units and live and hunt as such.  Each pack has an Alpha male and an Alpha female which protects and cares for the rest of their group which can be from 4 – 7 wolves.  Everyone shares in the responsibility of pup rearing.  Mating happens once a year and only the Alpha female gets this privilege.  Wolves are quite large and can get to 200 pounds.  They use their fur and howl to communicate with others.  Sadly their population is declining mainly due to habitat loss.  In my art I try to convey the beauty and majesty of these wonderful animals.

Love will find a way through paths where wolves fear to prey.
Lord Byron

It never troubles the wolf how many the sheep may be.
Virgil

Fear isn’t so difficult to understand. After all, weren’t we all frightened as children? Nothing has changed since Little Red Riding Hood faced the big bad wolf. What frightens us today is exactly the same sort of thing that frightened us yesterday. It’s just a different wolf. This fright complex is rooted in every individual.
Alfred Hitchcock

We have doomed the wolf not for what it is, but for what we deliberately and mistakenly perceive it to be –the mythologized epitome of a savage ruthless killer – which is, in reality, no more than a reflected image of ourself.
Farley Mowat

A society of sheep must in time beget a government of wolves.
Bertrand de Jouvenel

Passionate Photography by Zina Zinchik

Many people these days take pretty pictures.  Digital photography makes it easier and easier to get stunning imagery. However, most of these attractive photos do not create an emotion or make you think.  True art comes from a technical aspect and even more so from a great eye and heart.  Zina Zinchik is one artist who has both of these qualities.  When I look at her work I can “feel” the emotion behind it.  I can see that she is meticulous at setting up her shots, but also that she makes a story as she does so.

I caught up with Zina recently to learn more about her work.  Here are her answers:

What inspires your works? Photography for me opened the doors to share my fantasies, my anxieties and my emotions with people. 

Which of your photographs is your favorite? My favorite is Night Sonata which was taken quite a few years ago. This image comes directly from the camera with just minor adjustments in post-processing and it took very precise calculations of time and angles to get the picture just right. The musition is part of holidays window display at Bergdorf and Goodman and trees reflections comes from the park across the street. 
http://fineartamerica.com/featured/night-sonata-zina-zinchik.html 

Is there a photographer you relate to? And why? I am self-taught — started to learn craft of photography from online forums and discussions and it hard for me to pin-point the names. But if I must I would say that my biggest inspirations are coming from works of Annie Leibovitz and Peter Lindbergh. 

Do you ever feel like giving up? Not yet… So far the universe has been very kind to me, giving me support just when I needed it the most. 

How long have you been taking photos? 11 years for me. 

What’s the best thing about being a photographer? Being able to open hidden beauty and show another dimensions of every day objects. 

What’s the worst thing about being an photographer? Having to choose the best frame out of hundreds. 

Is there a purpose to your photography? Open another world to the viewers and stop time forever. 

How do you feel when people interpret your photos differently? We all are different and I am delighted when someone finds another meaning in my photographs, for me it means that picture ‘hit the spot’ for someone else. 

What advice do you have for aspiring photographers? Don’t afraid to experiment and push your limits.

Political Debate

My parents always taught me to never talk politics or religion in mixed company.  And I have found this to be sage advice as I lost some Facebook friends during the last political election.  This piece is up for interpretation.  Is it the face of good and evil?  Is it one face depicting the duality of the two faced politician?  Where did I get the idea?  Honestly, I have no clue.  Often artwork just forms in my hands as I look at or manipulate an image, paint or structure.  The end result is as much a surprise to me as it would be to anyone else.  We have always had a fascination with Abraham Lincoln as a country.  Good ol “Honest Abe”.  So I will not talk politics….I will let you do that. 🙂

The many faces of Abe:
