Ken Schmeelk captures his artistic process best when he says, "For me, the process of image making in the photographic arts in from start to finish one of seeking and discovering a sense of 'rightness.' From moment to moment, finding the balance and harmony of light, color, and form may result in an image that is realistic, impressionistic, or abstract, but ultimately it is the dialogue and dance of the raw elements with the imaginative function that may reveal something that feels surprising yet true."
