Oleg Malov: "I'm finding interesting what using different media and tools in distinctly deferent times and places my visual language and questions still the same. It's about duality of life, about black and white, life and death, love and hatred..."
Brad Knipstein: "As a photographer I am always trying to figure out the natural world visually. By that I mean that some subjects I try to deconstruct visually the way that a chemist would break down a compound into bare elements. To perhaps see something important that one can't find on the surface. Other subjects need only to be appreciated for what they are. Bearing them in the right light is all one needs to view them wholly."
