A New Endeavour / by Jon Shephard

It is said that the only constant is change.

And the recent changes to my chosen industry (marine tourism) have left me with an abundance of time on my hands. I’ve used that time to build something new, for me at least. For the first time in the 20+ years I have been carrying a camera I have decided to try and sell my images.

This has led me to a number of philosophical quandaries. What is art? What is an artist? What is the worth of my “work?” And so on. I’ve realized that the answers to these questions, and philosophical questions in general, need to be arbitrary. And so I have arbitrarily declared: this is art, and it is worth what I am charging. I suppose that makes me an artist.

But you will form your own opinions.

At the very least I hope that you like what you see if you visit my site. And I hope that you’ll join me in the belief that in a world of ceaseless change, one constant is the beauty of the natural world.

Stay sane out there
