Mitch Nelles is a photographic artist who captures images of objects and scenes encountered in everyday life. Nelles was an early convert to digital photographic methods since it allowed him to best capture the character and unique qualities of the everyday. Areas of urban transition, low technology workspaces, nautical themed objects, inner cities and open-air markets particularly fascinate Nelles. Decaying piers, ships in dry dock, urban basketball courts, barbed wired fences, old tools and street scenes in older areas of the city are all subjects that speak to him by virtue of their geometric shape texture, detail and gesture. It is through his photography that Nelles hopes to share the wonderment that can be found all around us if we are willing to stop and look.
