For more than thirty years Jean-Luc Mylayne has explored the intimate bond between subject and photographer through a non-traditional approach that combines exacting conception, visionary inventiveness, and infinite patience. Mylayne's photographic subjects, commonplace birds such as sparrows, starlings, and bluebirds, belie the wholly unique experience that Mylayne captures in his photography. Mylayne eschews telephoto lenses; he spends days and even weeks in the field with the birds, allowing them to become acclimated to his presence and thereby achieving a proximity and intimacy with his subjects that is unprecedented in traditional wild-life photography. The 23 large-scale color photographs in the exhibition emerged from more than two years' work along migratory bird paths in the countryside surrounding Fort Davis, Texas.
