    My Feeling of Light Painting

    To the best of my feeling of light painting as I have practiced it since 1977 (40 years), my eye tells me that more than 95% of the light paintings presented here are heavily re-worked (worked on) in post-light painting computerized manipulation. (Prove me wrong but don’t put me on)

    I suppose its to be expected that if some do it and it works for these photographers, gets more attention, even becomes an imperative, then that leaves those who don’t smoothe things out, don’t remove so-called technical errors will be left out by the “judges” of what light painting is and isn’t.

    I came to light painting in 1977 and made light paintings every day. One day in 2003 someone came into my Venice, CA., Light Space Gallery, and commented that what I’d made with my flashlight could be made in photoshop better. I asked him to return with proof. He did not, of course.

    I mention this to point out that it is viscerally disturbing to see so many light painters buying into this imperative to use computer visual tools to smooth, refine, reform, re-color, darken, lighten, layer, remove, replace, etc etc the light paintings that one made in order to do this in the first place through the camera.

    Speaking for myself and myself alone, 40 years of light paintings, 20 of them with no post light painting intervention possibility and 20 of them aware that post intervention applications were simply not how I understand light painting to be for me.

    Let me assure the light painters that I have no more intention of becoming more like a modern light painter than you have of going back and dropping out of what you’re doing.

    If anyone wants to start a discussion, that’s fine. That’s why I wrote this. If it’s sensitive and intelligent I’ll address it. If it’s just a slag Dean and his work then I won’t be able to address it.

    Be really excellent. Rebel against me.
