Ron Leighton, born 1944, earned a B.A. in psychology and an M.A. in art from California State University, Fullerton. He taught photography at Saddleback College, Mission Viejo, California, exhibited widely and was represented by the G. Ray Hawkins Gallery. He describes his work as follows: "The relation between man and nature has evolved a genre of its own. The combination of organic and inorganic forms and their arbitrary juxtapositions create new entities which become unique within themselves. When these entities are isolated, i. e. deprived of their natural environment, they are coerced into new relationships, often becoming anomalies - paradoxical and enigmatic. Here is semblance, yet its real meaning is intrinsic to the subject matter - its palpable substance which evokes sentient response." Camera, Lucerne: C.J. Bucher, Ltd, August 1972. This artist's book of 15 studies in lights and form, recall Zen meditations. Printed on Kodatlith gelatin silver paper 5 x 3 3/8 inches.
