To fully understand my art and the man behind the lens, one needs to understand the unique path I’ve taken—which is definitely a “Road Less Traveled”—and learn a bit more about who I am. The definition works both ways round: my work in part defines me, and who I am defines, energizes, and bounds my work, and gives my art the power that it has.
In other words, since I have been at it a while, my work as an artist and photographer can be said to be the face I deserve. My work in large measure defines me, although of course I am also a husband, father, and lover of wild things.
Read Behind the Lens with Harold Davis on the Topaz Labs Blog, which I wrote to give some idea of the long and winding path less traveled that I’ve taken to become the artist and photographer I am today.

25 Sep 2017I have read this article when it was published and now that I read it again, I like it even more. You can find an endless number of articles and books on art and photography, but not as many about the heart and mind of an artist. I am so much more interested in learning about the mindset of artists whose work I admire and like than technical articles and books. I do like working digital no doubt, but an exchange with a fellow artist is so much more rewarding. Thanks for this, Harold.
