After our visit through the DAM, we had lunch at the restaurant there with Mark Sink, a Denver photographer and friend of Roddy's. I was fortunate enough to sit at the same table as him and got to hear all about his life and why he chose to live in Denver and how he came to be a photographer. After having lunch, we went to the Byers Evans House Gallery where Mark was showing his collection. Having the artists there, giving us a personalized tour and explanation of each piece was such an honor. I never realized how many different techniques there are in photography until I saw his collection. It astounds me that he is able to make such beautiful art by simply scattering sugar or a flower on a scanner, or with a simple, old school Diana F+ camera. He proves that simplicity is bliss.
