“Photography is a way of feeling, of touching, of loving. What you have caught on film is captured forever... it remembers little things, long after you have forgotten everything.” (Aaron Siskind)
Aaron Siskind (born December 4, 1903, New York, New York, U.S. died February 8, 1991, Providence, Rhode Island) was an American abstract expressionist photographer. In his biography he wrote that he began his foray into photography when he received a camera for a wedding gift and began taking pictures on his honeymoon. He quickly realized the artistic potential this offered. He worked in both New York City and Chicago.

“While the Abstract Expressionists were mainly painters and sculptors, Aaron Siskind is perhaps the only photographer to be considered a member of the group.” (NY Times Magazine By Scott Hall January 29, 2009)
This is my homage to the great photographer Aaron Siskind who made some of the finest and most memorable photographs of the twentieth century. My two photos presented as a diptych refer to two Mr. Siskinds most famous themes, his figures in the air and in his later years, his still life images of rocks.
Yesterdays image was a clump of some kind of plastic material that had been affected by the toxic fumes in Centralia, Pa.
