My Name is Kevin Charles Kline: I am a "Photographer" and Instructor of the practice living in Buffalo, NY. I have been photographing since the age of 15 when the boredom of growing up in a small town, a driver's license and a point and shoot camera came together in a symphony of escapism that sent me on a insatiable path that has yet to end. I put the word/title "Photographer" in these convenient "" 's for the simple reason that as I have walked this path of the photographic I find myself taking fewer and fewer actual photographs and find myself more interested and concerned with the conceptual/cultural/social/historical/aesthetic presence of this vast and ubiquitous medium in our history as well as our present. Though we have taken great technological and aesthetic strides over the last 185 or so years of this technology's existence I find our ability to completely understand and digest the impact of all the various heads of this technological hydra has not improved beyond the ghost captured in the box. This Blog will (I hope) provide an outlet not only for my tangential research/interests in photography but will also act as a sounding board to echo my daily inquiries and experiences of the photographic. I hope you enjoy!
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
