Kenneth Appelbaum started shooting people places and things in 1970
in Tucson Arizona. While he is basically a self taught photographer
Kenneth prides himself in his quest to learn from many different sources
and people.
            If asked to describe his work Kenneth will most often use the phrase
"street photographer". What he means by this is that he is constantly
striving to document ordinary life from the extraordinary to the
mundane, expressing himself, his feelings, and his thoughts about the
world through his photographic art medium. He loves to create images of
things that interest him. His range extends from horrid to beautiful
from soft to hard from ridiculous to sacred.          
           His goal as a photographer is to make a difference in the world by
portraying inspiring messages. A great source of pride and satisfaction
is to have people love his prints enough to display them on their walls.
In fact, his works of family, people, fine art, commercial etc. are
being displayed on walls of homes, and offices, all over the world. 
While Kenneth has been published many times in national magazines,
books, and newspapers his heart rejoices the most when he knows one of
his photographs has moved somebody enough to simply want to hang it on
the wall and view it frequently

            "Kenneth's whole approach to photography is driven by a purity of
thinking about the function of photography in social discourse that is
really quite rare today where we seem to be caught up with changing
photography in the computer. His approach reminds me more of the devoted
photographers of the last century who understood, so much better than we
do today, that photography is first, last and always, about the capture
of someones view of the world". Joseph Meehan: world-class photographer,
editor of Photography Yearbook, senior editor of Photo District News
(PDN) and author of 15 books on photography.
