Hello everyone! It’s showtime at the University
of La Verne’s Irene Carlson Gallery of Photography! That’s right, I’ve been
invited to share my Kinetic Ambiguity Project. The gallery is located at the
following:
2237 C Street
La Verne, CA 91750
The gallery is in Miller Hall on the ground
level.
The artist reception
is on Thursday, February 19th, 2026, from 4pm to 6pm. I hope you can make it!
Edward Lance Montgomery wants to share
his creations of manipulated light with you. His passion? Photographic art
rendered with his signature post-production formula, creating unique and
engaging yet still familiar pieces. The image making process is especially
personal for him as he photographs these works in a moving vehicle. This began
for him back in 2003 while he served in the Army during the war, on his last
deployment to Iraq. Being how he couldn’t simply stop his convoy to take
pictures, he would take pictures while on the move – hip shots or “no look”
shots, if you will. Initially, the blurry images were culled from the “good”
ones, but the blur intrigued him. He never stopped experimenting with blurry
images, not even during his undergraduate studies as a studio art major, he
kept this work to himself. The project wouldn’t even get a name until 2013 –
the Kinetic Ambiguity Project. Now, you would be hard pressed to find him doing
anything else.
Edward, an award-winning artist, has
participated in art exhibitions, written art reviews, and curated art shows. He
is a 2014 honors graduate of California State University, San Bernardino with a
BA in studio art (concentration photography) and a minor in business
administration. By way of a 20-year military career, Edward has lived around
the world but has since returned to his home state of California. He currently
lives in the high desert city of Victorville.

Yes, I’m still working on blog. I’ve been working on this blog since 2010. I’ve basically been trying to figure out how a blog works. I know, that’s a lot of figuring.

It looks like it's on fire. For the record, there is no fire – just fast movement.

You might be wondering what I’m doing. I’m trying to send along some calming vibes, from me to you, by way of my print, “Green Joshua”. I’m asking you to slow down so you can really see it. Besides, I think we are all going too fast anyway. That being said, my prints are designed to be seen in person. Face-to-face interaction works best with this work.

I do not photograph subjects as life-like images. My work is sometimes abstract and at other times impressionistic and many times both. What I’m doing is having a conversation with light, shadows, and color. In my Kinetic Ambiguity’s Land Series, Vista Segments, there is a lot of focus on what you can’t see. The challenge is often figuring out what you do see. If you look for them, you’ll notice that the landscapes have been there right in front of you, all along.
