Bruce Barone: Picture Poems

Bruce Barone, professional photographer, is fearless.  His self-portraits in the garden are picture poems.  


More, he has made them a series.  First glance, mundane.  Second glance, entire worlds.


Seems easy, his self-portraits.  Closer inspection, he's at the peak of his game.


I perused a thick Annie Leibovitz book at a friend's home when I spent the night and came away thinking her work, in that book, was cliched & derivative.  Her initial inspiration was alive, the derivatives, lifeless.


Bruce has the spirit of his heart, with the skill of his brain, in each picture.


In addition to fearless, I see the generosity in what he shares with us.


Of course he has a broad pallet,   New Photography   Blog   Poetry   Bruce's Kitchen   About   Contact   Prints   Greeting Cards .

Being an artist is similar to being a duck. You may look like you're simply gliding easily above the surface but underneath a lot is going on. Bruce's work seems to reflect this.
