George J Nicholson studied photographic science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the late 1960s in the laboratory of Harold "Doc" Edgerton while majoring in visual design. Additional studies with mystic photographer Minor White, then in residence at the Institute and teaching unorthodox methods, had a profound impact on Nicholson’s creative process. After a long career as a corporate graphic designer, George has returned his focus to creative photography, emphasizing its psychological and spiritual dimensions and using the camera as an inner-work tool. Many of his projects are triggered by dreams or by following the slender threads of synchronicity. His work takes the form of books, exhibitions and short films. George lives and works in Kingston, NY, drawing inspiration from the manifold glories of the Mid-Hudson Valley and his regular visits to the high desert of New Mexico.
