Arno Rafael Minkkinen has been asked whether
the astonishing photographs he has made of his body in improbable landscapes are self portraits.
His answer has been, “No, none of these is a self portrait, but the body of my work
taken in its entirety might comprise a kind of self portrait.”

My images are a glimpse of my world, through my eyes. They are a brief catalog
of what has compelled my gaze, invited exploration, commanded capture.
Perhaps, they may be viewed as a kind of self portrait from the inside, looking through my eyes.

Would you find these images richer, more beautiful, more compelling if you were to learn:
Where and When I was born?
The Schools I have attended and the Degrees they have bestowed?
My Mentors and My Formal Training in Art?
Or to read:
A Lengthy Catalog of where my Works have been hung?
A List of What I have Written?
A Litany of Praise and Prizes Received?

If the images are silent and do not speak to you,
could any of the above give them eloquent tongues?

What you should know, however is that my images are printed one at a time in small numbers
using archival, pigment inks on fine papers which have been chosen to best render the images.
Prints are available for sale in several sizes and presentations.
