Ramon Ramirez, “Seashore Staff”
Disfruté mucho en éste trabajo, es diferente que trabajar con las vacas. Al comienzo tenía miedo porque no me gustaron las fotos que había tomado en el pasado. Cuando vi fotografías en el Museo me dí cuenta de la importancia de la fotografía. Ahora cuando dicen "que foto tan bonita", me emociona. Trato de crear fotos cada vez mejores.
Ayer mi tío me pidió que le tomara una foto de él. Me preguntó si pudiera estar en la Galería, y yo le dije que no, que éste año no, tal vez el próximo. Quizá en el futuro, cuando no esté trabajando en el rancho, yo pueda hacer un anuncio en el periódico para tomar fotos.
Ramon Ramirez Artist Statement: I enjoyed this work; it is very different from working with the cows. I was scared at first because I didn’t like the pictures I took in the past. When I saw the pictures in the museum, I saw that photography was important. Now when people say, “what a good picture,” I feel excited. I try to make my pictures better and better.
Yesterday my uncle asked me to take his picture, so I did. He asked if it could be in the gallery and I said not this year, maybe next year. Perhaps in the future when I am not working on the ranch I can put an ad in the paper offering to take pictures for people.
We believe that art is an intellectual and spiritual necessity
that belongs in every community. Our purpose is to provide
a professional exhibition space for artwork and a program
that addresses the cultural, political, and environmental
concerns of our rural community and the greater Bay Area.
