​Joe Profita Photography

“Man’s eyes have great power, for they convey the soul.  When God dwells in a man, his eyes can carry God to man.”  Michel Quoist, Prayers 1963


Sight is the sense I value the most.  Living in the Eastern Sierra has me surrounded by much that pleases the eye.  A careful walk along a creek or around an old building or across a sand dune causes one to ‘see’ differently.  Light momentarily strikes the water’s surface or a few cups left on a table or a temporary pattern left in the sand…perfect visual moments.  I began photographing in color as a means of simply remembering these scenes, a visual record.  I saw Edward Weston and Morley Baer prints in the early 1970s and my interest in the medium changed. Their monochrome prints captured these visual moments flawlessly and I became a black and white photographer.
