When I was 13 I wanted to go hunting. My father, a WWII vet, said I would be safer in the woods with a camera rather than a firearm. So began my photographic journey with a Canon Demi, 35mm ½ frame camera I received for Christmas that year.
My mother was a visual artist and with my father, founded an audio visual business in Duluth, MN. From an early age I was surrounded by art, audio visual recordings and equipment. I was encouraged to take many pictures and teetered on a variety of platforms of stills (35mm-4x5) and motion (16mm film, video tape) through high school and college. I have a BA in Art/Art History. Since 1973, I was fortunate to have a career as television photojournalist. I retired from that platform in 2016.
My images are what elicits an emotion within me at the time. The camera is a tool to get those feelings out of me to be seen by others.
I find the process of recording fascinating. Over the years my recording has been on film, video, audio tape and digital media. At one time, I stamped the back of my still photos, “Documented by Aethan Hart.” Sometimes, the recording can be more exciting than the finished product.
Instead of shooting, I now acquire content. My father was right, it is safer and more rewarding.
