I would like to publicly announce that I will no longer call myself a photographer, but henceforth would like to be referred to as a 'Turnip'. My reasoning is this:
I create editions of photographs, fifteen in number to be exact. But the thing that sets me apart is that any of these fifteen prints may be different sizes and even different processes. I have single images that are printed in silver gelatin, palladium, gumover palladium and even agyrotype from time to time. I feel this working methodology not only makes me a unique and valuable addition to the known cosmos, but is also something that no one has ever thought about before: Imagine, being so curious and experimental, that one feels comfortable doing pretty much any damn thing when it comes to making a print. That's me, baby.
The only trouble is that I originally wanted to be called an artist, but unfortunately that term has apparently been taken. A little googling has led me to believe that no one has appropriated the word 'Turnip' to describe their profession, so I hearby declare this to be my title, and that it is mine alone. If you want to do something different, find your own word. Turnip is taken. By me. Any questions?
