The artistic inspiration for my first photo journal is Giacomo Balla's "Dynamism of a Dog on a Leash" from 1912. I find the futurists' interest in capturing motion, change and energy to be a truer pursuit of reality than the static depictions of previous artistic movements. I reasoned that a well-paced hike with several subjects would be appropriate for my first exploration of the theme of movement. Of course, I did not wish to duplicate the work of artists nearly a century old. While they were inspired by photography, I used the medium directly. In addition, my subject was everything in the view of my camera. Even the landscape is in motion as a result of my kinetic experience of it. I hope, as well, that my emotional response - my love of adventure and of my family's shared experience - will also have been captured on film. Yogi Bear Bohannon-Adlersfluegel
