Chris,

I think it is fine.  (Caveat: I have never written an artist's statement 
and most likely never will, though I have, albeit briefly, read 
several.)  It tells who you are, your purpose and references to your 
work.  It is free of BS.  My only question is the reference to "fine 
art" photography.  One of these days I have to look this up, e.g., is 
there bad art photography, or average art photography?  If I could make 
photos like yours, I would just say I am a photographer. Just my 2c.

Ken
