Piece description from the artist
I visited the new Martin Luther King memorial shortly after its opening in Washington DC and tried, in this image, to link the new statue with the traditional cherry blossom trees that surround it. The relatively soft light on the statue helps maintain the feeling of calm that those colorful blossoms provide.
Steve Heap has been a photographer for over 50 years now (which is frightening to think about!) but in that time he has developed an eye for what would make a striking piece of wall art. Photography is all about the light and his finest attribute is patience! Waiting for the conditions to be just right is the key to making a piece of art that you can be proud of. Of course, luck plays a part, but without that patience of being in the right place at the right time, it just becomes a snapshot. He focuses on capturing images from around the world – timeless shots that reward the viewer with insights as they spend more time with them!
