An Extreme Kind of Contemporary Photography by Don O. Thorpe

PROGRESSIVE CONTEMPORARY

Contemporary Art is usually described as art from the 1960's to the present. Since I began photographing in the early 60's, I am a prime candidate for this description. However, contemporary art is usually considered to be progressive and challenging. This is the kind of definition that I choose for this gallery. These images are my attempts to challenge my inner visual eyes, to dig into the sub-conscience where we see things a little different from mundane reality.

I use special techniques to introduce abstract renderings to these photographs – some of these effects are digital enhancements and some are camera created. Most of the photos are from a single photographic image, but some are composites or collages.
