tread’s Profile
Tread knows that photographs are a form of reference. But photographs may transcend mere reference and can make that moment something more. That elusive something more is the ongoing motivation for Tread and his work.
A self-taught photographer and self-proclaimed smart-ass. When not wasting film in musty, archaic, plastic toy cameras, long sleepless nights are spent watching bad movies with titles like "The World’s Greatest Sinner" and "Blood Feast." These bad movies have influenced Tread's work in some way, but so has fellow Lexingtonian Ralph Eugene Meatyard.
Images, captured non-digitally, printed traditionally using (gasp) silver and paper. Themes in obvious dichotomy. Intimacy vs. Isolation. Love vs. Indifference. Here vs. There. Tread wants to convey a "southern-ness" in his work without using a sledgehammer. Tread is the South, we all are...or should be.
No, he won't shoot your wedding.
