I was going through my archived images working on a new twist to some images I loved for their lines (movement). While studying them, I remembered Man Ray (American, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 1890-1976 Paris) and his "rayographs". I Thought a process similar to Ray's end result of his work would be great for some of my close-up work of nature. "Man Ray made his "rayographs" without a camera by placing objects-such as the thumbtacks, coil of wire, and other circular forms used here-directly on a sheet of photosensitized paper and exposing it to light. Man Ray had photographed everyday objects before, but these unique, visionary images immediately put the photographer on par with the avant-garde painters of the day. Hovering between the abstract and the representational, the rayographs revealed a new way of seeing that delighted the Dadaist poets who championed his work, and that pointed the way to the dreamlike visions of the Surrealist writers and painters who followed."

I am based is Northeastern California in the High Sierra Nevada Mountain Range. I specialize in nature, architecture and abstract. But, if a subject captures my attention, I capture it. For me, photography is how I remember the world through my eyes. It gives my peace. When I am photographing, I forget everything else around me and lose myself into the capturing of a memory. It’s just me and the subject. I am honored to be able to share my world with you. 'Savor the moment to last a lifetime.' Thank you for taking the time to view my profile and images. My images are taken from the heart. https://twitter.com/MellissaRay Note: The "Fine Art America" watermark does not show up on the final product.
