About Me

My Photo
Ronzig
In the forties I was born. In the fifties I was a student. In the sixties I was a nomadic hippie. In the seventies I was a millionaire and real estate broker. In the eighties I was an owner of a recycling company with a 23000 square foot factory and a fleet of trucks. In the nineties I was a homeless person. In the new millennium I am a writer and photoArtist. I have always chosen to be a free man. Freedom is not automatic. If a person does not choose freedom and face the difficulties of that choice he will automatically become a slave to whatever political/economic system he lives under. By choosing freedom, he will live his life as an outcast, despised and envied by the majority who lack the courage to choose freedom and/or the wisdom to recognize the choices.

Artists' Statement

I have a love/hate relationship with my home town, Toronto. During my 10 homeless years, I was able to explore the hidden underbelly of Toronto and was awakened to a vision of life here that most people never see. The mixed feelings which result are the inspiration for my art, of which the subject is always Toronto. It is my hope that the images which I have captured and created will inspire similar feelings in my audience.
I call my work Digital photoArt. It is photography based and digitally altered to reflect my artistic vision of the image.

Curricula Vitae

Although I have no formal training in art, I have always had a God given talent. As a student, I won several art contests and had a sculpture I created in grade 8 displayed at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
Through the Toronto Board of Education's Continuing Education program, I learned digital photography and Adobe Photoshop and my creative instincts were rekindled. Thus began my career as a digital photoArtist.
I have had several shows in galleries and other venues and sold numerous pieces. I have also been commissioned to do several photographic records of events.
I was a participant in Photography and Story (a window on homelessness) and the work our group has produced was exhibited at the Nuit Blanche Arts Festival September 29/07
Several of my works have been sold at various fundraising events where the proceeds are shared with the artist and the charitable organization.
