CHRISTOPHER BURKETT:

That's what photography is all about is writing with light and when you go up to the print, I want light to come out. You don't have to go find it; it's coming out. When I'm looking at a scene, I know what I'm seeing, but then I look to see where the light is coming from and what that color of light is and many times in photographs what makes things come alive are opposite colors illuminating the scene because you get more shape and more color differentiation JOANNE ELGART JENNINGS: For Burkett, photography is not just an artistic, but a spiritual experience that's informed by his religious faith. As a young man he spent seven years as a brother in the Eastern Orthodox Church.
