Starting with his first camera and darkroom in 1971, by the end of the '70s Cecil's work became more and more abstract, ultimately leaving anything recognizable completely. Although some marvelous images were produced, they bore no resemblance to any contemporary photography, making positioning of them problematic. Still, there was some critical acclaim. As a New Orleans resident at the time of “ Hurricane Katrina “, some of his portfolio was lost. After a year in Chicago he now finds himself in Hendersonville Tennessee. His new work in landscape represents a radical departure from what he‘s known for. Though his potential for an innovative vision has never been in question, it will be interesting to see how this new approach, still in it’s infancy, plays out. A diversion, or the beginnings of a new direction? An artist under the radar. Sharon Abbott, 2006, art critic
