Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: âSome photographers take their pictures; others make them. Neither notion seems right in describing Stanford Lipseyâs work, however, for the spirit behind these pictures is one of natural discovery, something that comes before process.â
âAnthony Bannon, Director of Eastman HouseÂ
Stanford Lipseyâs passion for fine art photography began in Aspen, Colorado 30 years ago with the sight of a simple pine cone seen through a macro lens. Ever since this revelatory moment, Lipsey has dedicated himself to revealing simple truths and a visual language of the natural world hidden around us. Whether it be cloud formations in an azure sky, light ripples in shimmering water, a dense pine forest, gentle ice crystals, or austere glass architecture, Lipseyâs photographs suggest a sense of the inexplicable universal links that bond the elements and matter.
Affinity of Form, Lipseyâs first monograph, brings that vision to bear on a wide array of commonplace subjects from our everyday world. In the vein of Aaron Siskind, Lipseyâs camera fixes frequently on surfaces, abstracting them in such a way that they become visual objects unto themselves, independent of their sources and newly compelling. Other images take a longer view, allowing monumental structures, both natural and man-made, to revert to basic shapes. A newspaperman by profession, Lipsey draws on a long-honed ability to capture events at precisely the right momentâin this case, the moment when mundane objects cease to be themselves, transforming within the frame into something far more artful and mysterious. âIâm rather eclectic in what I shoot,â he says, âbut all forms of nature, abstracts, and architecture inspire me to create imagery that escapes the naked eye.â
