Sunrise in the Rose Garden - Bryan Aptekar
Bryan Aptekar has had a camera in his hand since childhood, but only identified as a photographer much later in life. As a self-declared vagabond who has spent a lifetime seeking new experiences from which to learn, his photography highlights cultures, wildlife, and landscapes from around the world. To make his work – and the world – more accessible for others, his images reflect subjects that can be seen within easy walking distance from whatever form of transport one might have. Based in Portland, Oregon, Aptekar is a primarily self-taught artist who has been developing his skills and sharing his work for the past decade. His work was the subject of a 2014 solo exhibit titled “Edge of the Road Beauty” and has been regularly featured in the City of Portland’s annual “All the Art that Fits” exhibit.
Sunrise in the Rose Garden was taken during an early morning visit to the Washington Park Rose Garden, as the sun crept up through the tall Doug Firs. The silhouette of the rose was both beautiful and mournful. The image represents something that can be beautiful, loved, and missing in some way all at the same time.
Print is 11x14” giclee print on photo matte.
