Artist Statement:
The exaggeration and
distortion made by pinhole
cameras creates pictures that
I see as a form of
photographic impressionism
that can be, as Cézanne wrote
of his paintings, "faithful to
a striking or beautiful object
and a modern abstraction--a
moving harmony representing
nothing." My self-constructed
cameras become my
collaborators in making the
kinds of impressionistic
pictures that are like those
that are always moving through
our minds; the reflections,
glimpses and shadows that are
the pictures of our memories
and of our dreams....

Martin R. Anderson
Has been taking and making pictures most of his life.
When he was 16, one of his very first photographs, printed in a home darkroom won First Prize in Photography in the Connecticut Physicians' Art Association Show. (Both of Martin's parents were doctors and the show was open to physicians' family members). Although the early recognition was an incentive, it would be several decades before he got back into the darkroom and won another award in photography.
Meanwhile, Martin graduated from Boston University's College of Fine Arts, in 1972 having majored in theater. He spent many years as an actor ("The Proposition" "The Next Move" "Shear Madness" "Sister Mary Ignatius Explains It All For You."), a director and teacher. For over twenty years, he has been a Practitioner in the TRAGER® Approach to Movement Education.
In 2000, Martin constructed his first pinhole camera and began anew photographic explorations. He now has over forty self-constructed pinholes in his family of cameras. He also photographs with Holga, Diana and other low-tech, toy cameras.
Martin's home is in Brookline, MA. He likes to spend time making photographs in Provincetown, New York City, Key West, London and Paris.
