Jerry N. Uelsmann

Jerry N. Uelsmann

This image has been digitally transformed by a digital artist that goes by the name of "Jerry N. Uelsmann". This image
to me represents inspirations and passions. The things in life that keep you going. The image is of a little row boat isolated in the ocean and a pair of hands cupping the ocean. It is as if this is the most important thing in the world as he is grasping it in his bare hands. Doesn't want to let go of his passions. Maybe it is signifying a jump in his life where he has had to sacrafice something he loves for something like... work or children. On the other hand it could just be an inspiration that he holds close to get him through life... always looking back at his row boat to be reassured. The colours in this image are quite dull being all different shades of grey. It gives a real sence of depth and emotion through the image. The contrasting negative space really illuminates the ocean and the clouds because the colours are so contrasting; Black and white. This creates a strong focal point of the image: the row boat. This image really gets you thinking about the things in life that motivate you and mean the most to you. I think to thi artist this atmosphere and scene is a real place to just get away and relax, forget about all the problems in life and just enjoy the relaxing sounds of the waves and the chiming sea birds.

  1. Jerry Uelsmann is NOT a digital artist. He works exclusively in the darkroom. Do your research next time.
