Kirk Lanier Photography

When one thinks in terms of color, texture, the play of light and shadow, composition and the  flow of line. one can find beauty everywhere. I seek out places and things that are not usually thought of to contain beauty such as junkyards, old train stations, deserted structures and ghettos. For me photography continuously opens new ways of seeing and being in the world. It is today my greatest passion.

I have been a musician most of my life. In music there is a phenomena that they call flow. It is a state the player enters into where he feels at one with the music and the other players and ideally even the listeners.  This state is very much centered in the moment. I find this same state of mind often when I am on a photo shoot, a oneness with the camera and the subject and I am rivited in the moment.
