Ty Watford

 As a young boy Ty would borrow the family camera and spend hours composing abstract scenes and testing the boundaries of his inexpensive equipment. Although this behavior was rarely rewarded as a youngster, he continued to create photographic effects all his life. Living in and around the French Quarter for 16 years, Ty has used photography as a hobby, a healthy distraction, and a type of therapy, but never with any expectations or desire of becoming an artist. Though he would occasionally show his work to certain friends, he has always been a little shy about it. Only very recently, Ty was persuaded to make his work available.

His long-time girlfriend, who taught him the craft of fine art framing, convinced him to print a selection of her favorites so they could create for them, custom, one of a kind frames. The prints and frames together create a continuous work of art that is as much sculpture as photography
