George rarely tries to capture the moment and finds that by ignoring reality he can best convey his inner vision and underlying emotions. Subjects that convey feelings of loneliness, isolation, and melancholy are his preferred themes, with bare trees in the water, old piers, and interesting rocks being recurring themes in his work. He sees the use of black and white as a step away from reality, and with the use of the long exposure technique, he introduces the sense of passing time by eliminating the details from the background, thus highlighting his subjects. |
