Lisa M. Robinson Presentation Preview

Lisa M. Robinson is a photographer I encountered when I was an undergraduate at the University of Arizona. I first saw her photographs at the Etherton Gallery of Fine Art Photography. Her photograph below is what I saw.

This image intrigued me because it looked frightening but beautiful at the same time. The frozen water on a pier was interesting because all I knew was the hot desert air and intense sunlight of Tucson and the southwest. I researched further and found that this image was within a series of photographs in a book called Snowbound. I also found that she was a hybrid photographer meaning, she photographed in large format film negatives and scanned the images. The merging of the traditional photography with the digital enabled me to accept digital photography and pursue that further. I hope you enjoy her photographs as much as I do.
