NEW WEBSITE! WWW.SCULPTUREDSUNRAYS.COM
For years Joe Buberger has been known as The Man who Discovers Americas First Photographs. Dealing with extremely rare daguerreotypes of the 1840s/50s, many of his discoveries have been published and many find there way into institutional collections. Whether a daguerreotype of Fredrick Douglas, now at The National Portrait Gallery, a whole-plate, 81/2" X 61/2" of Sam Houston, now at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston Texas, or his half-plate New York cityscape, ca 1850, (Nat Geo, Nov. 92) now at the Metropolitan Museum Of Art, New York, the images Joe works with are quite rare.
Now we are welcomed into his private world of Art. At www.sculpturedsunrays.com you will see Buberger’s photographs of manipulations of the natural spectrum. "There’s nothing there," says Joe, "but light that has traveled 93,000,000 miles". There are no objects photographed, just shapes and forms I create by manipulating a single beam of sunlight flashing by at 186,300 miles per second and capturing it on film." "Using only Kodak products throughout my shooting and printing process I am guaranteed the finest quality photographic prints." " I have been experimenting with sculptured sunrays since the mid-1990s after being introduced to the concept of working with moving light by my friend Aaron Rose.
With an introduction by Grant B. Romer, International Museum Of Photography, Rochester, this new website is sure to open minds into an aspect of photographic imagery never before seen.
