fine art photographs by Jeff Einstein

What happens when an artwork begins in the visible world, but yearns to become something more?

MY LIFE
My life—like my photography—has unfolded through reinvention, interruption, detour and return.

My earliest experiments with fine art photography were exhibited in several SF Bay Area galleries and public spaces in the late 1960s. Fade out, fade in: Now—well into my eighth decade and a little worn around the edges after so many detours and so many right and wrong turns—I return to my creative roots as a fine art photographer and unrepentant storyteller. I’ve watched a lot of water flow under my bridge. Perhaps not surprisingly, some of it flowed into my art.

MY ART
I’m drawn to photographs that begin with observation but gradually become something less certain: memory, abstraction, reflection, atmosphere, or simply a different way of seeing.

Spectacle announces itself. The smaller moments rarely do. I more often find meaning, form and perspective in commonplace things—the quieter, more introspective encounters easily lost amid the noise and scale of contemporary life.

Most lives are built not from grand occasions but from thousands of quiet, incremental interludes. They accumulate over time into something larger than themselves. These are the moments I try to recognize and preserve with my camera. I think of them collectively as The Art of Little Things.
