Finding the Ordinary in the Extraordinary →

My journey as an artist who likes to takes pictures has been quite the memorable one as I continue to evolve, experiment and push the envelope regarding my creativity. I am also my own worst, and harshest critic, and those days have slowly faded away to be replaced by something considerably different. Though it has taken more time than it should have, I am begun to truly see my work as others do, to have an appreciation for my work and that it not only has value for me, but for others as well. While I am the last to pat myself on the pack and try to be as humble as can be, I am proud of my accomplishments, my work, my potential and exploring new and exciting visions to capture. Thank YOU for being a part of this incredible journey with me…

Sincerely,

Jared Ray Eaton

The Morning Glories

I have worked at PS90 as a concierge for the past four years, and have been fascinated by the architecture and have occasionally dabbled in the back garden. One weekend a tenant and I put up a discarded trellis we had found and she transplanted her morning glories into a large white bucket. Just a few weeks later they had topped the trellis in all their, ahem, morning glory. The architecture of PS90 makes for the perfect backdrop to showcase these easy to care for flowers.

Iris

Iris has always been my favourite flower - the deep rich purple, the long time colour of royalty. In addition, the flower takes its name from the Greek word for a rainbow, which is also the name for the Greek goddess of the rainbow, Iris. I love getting up close and personal with flowers, it allows me to practice my skills in the fields of macro and abstract photography.

Red and White

April, one of my favorite months of the year, produces such beautiful images for flower lovers and photographers alike. The sweet smell, the bees pollinating, the brilliance of the red, the softly muted white, and the green leafy background to balance it all out - flowers just light up the concrete jungle’s landscaping. This is the first of many floral prints that I have taken over the years, and “Red and White” will be the first available here on the site!
