Spyros Heniadis says - As an artist, I want to share the things I see. I want to share the thrill I get when looking at something that enraptures me and tugs at me. It's about everyday beauty, the things that we see so often we never really SEE them anymore. I am drawn to buildings, to people and to open stretches of land. Vastness always captivates me, the vastness of the land, and the vast depth of an expression. My primary means of capture is Digital photography, where instant feedback saves me the pain of lost opportunities. I print, mat and frame my own photos, sometimes using a local photo finisher for enlargements.

E. Mitchell Stone - Film, music, and paintings are primary influences on my writing. On a conscious level the work of Luis Bunuel, Maya Deren, Kenneth Anger, Alexandro Jodorowsky, and Man Ray. On a subconscious level of course everything from the banalities of Ed Wood or H.G. Lewis to Hitchcock is fair game. Musically, the residual stimulation of thought provoking tonalities - Brian Eno, Velvet Underground for example - have a magical occultism that rivals any therapy or inspiration. Losing the trappings of blatant symbolism seems to be the path to discarding pretention.
