Artist’s Statement
As an award-winning documentary filmmaker and oral history recorder, Albertin has preserved hundreds of stories with video.
A photographer since childhood, Albertin has changed his focus from filmmaking to still photography as another way to capture time. His emphasis is on the wild areas and rural places that are often overlooked. It gives him time for pause. The process is slow and he finds great peace in not only exploring the mysteries that unfold, but the challenge of capturing it on film. With photography, with light and tones, he preserves time and place. It is a record within a world that continues to change.
