Life flows like a river of energy. Strangely enough, photographers
can capture traces of that swirling, sparkling chaos in still images - like
an eclipsed sun that still shoots out flaming corona outside the black disc
of an eclipsing moon. Daniel J. Smitherman's work behind the camera eclipses
the blinding - but ordinary - aspects of our visual world, to reveal the
flashes of beauty and alien-ness that lie just behind the veil.
Spontaneous, sensitive, and passionate, Daniel's work ranges from informal
portraits to abstract architectural angles to quiet but powerful testaments
of nature.
