My Bio
In all my photographs I seek to push the interpretive limits of my eye and my equipment. I strive to push beyond a representation of what my eye has seen in an attempt to deliver the feeling the viewer has standing in my shoes. My images are evocotive and emotional, straddling the line between representation and imagination.
Current Residence: Honolulu, Hi
Favourite genre of music: Genre's are for people who like being told what to do
Favourite photographer: Ideally I can learn from any photograph, but I guess I appreciate the ones that are unique
Favourite style of art: The idea of style is like the idea of correct grammar... so 20th century
Operating System: Windows

Favoritism is kinda like elitism... I'm an idealist at worst, a pessimist at best.

Revisionist Theory

Every aspect of photography is interpretive. We hold photography to a different standard than any other creative media in that we ascribe it a certain amount of documentary fidelity. And it can serve this purpose. But with photography we tend to get increasingly upset as the finished product drifts further away from the "truth" of what the photographer saw. In it's ability to be both representational and creative, photography is more similar to writing than any other medium. Writing can be rigorously descriptive, as in legal writing or traditional objective journalism; or it can explore the limits of meaning, as in poetry. Read more here: htt

Devious Journal Entry

Stepping into the Saipan air is walking into a mild sauna. The air isn't so much air as it is warm water with an extreme distance between molecules. My body reacted to non-evaportaive properties by producing still more sweat; my physiology would not figure out the futility of that strategy during my 2 week stay in the most populated island of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.

Fear Mongering in the Mass Media
0 min read
As increasing technology moves us from the old mode of corporate dominated, vertically integrated information dissemination Goliaths and into the new mode of decentralized, individually driven social media in which the individual has greater potential for interaction in the media exchange than at any other point of history, a critical understanding of fear-mongering will become vitally important in the creation of new media paradigms that empower a sense of self-determination in the common person... read more here http://christophercookphoto.wordpress.com/

thx for the faves <3
Your work is breathtakingly beautiful and I thoroughly enjoyed looking through your gallery. I love the insight you give into each finished peace, it really helped me find deeper meaning in your work instead of just thinking "wow that's really pretty". I look forward to admiring more!
Thank you for taking the time to write this, it means a lot. With the words I try to express the kind of insight that I feel when I completely immerse myself in nature, as I do when I'm shooting. Natural beauty is really amazing, and while I appreciate that many photographer's strive hard to capture the aesthetic, I like to try to go after the emotive aspects of being surrounded by natural beauty.
You`re welcome!
thank you fr the fave! 
Thank you for being awesome.
thanks
