The images below are the ones I feel best express my intent, my purpose, in doing landscape photography, which I took up in earnest in 1991. They appear in approximate chronological order; the year each image was made is indicated by the first two digits in its number (e.g., Image #9116 was made in 1991). Click/tap on a thumbnail image to see it larger, along with its title; click/tap on the larger image to return to this page. If you are a student, I'd like to suggest a few things to look for. First, as you browse through the many images in this gallery, perhaps you'll see some evolution of my style over time, although my intent has always been to express my feelings about my relationship to nature (the Web of Life). Realize that your skill and your photographic "eye" will grow and change over time, as you yourself will. Pay close attention to the composition of these images -- the distribution of visual elements. What does the composition of an image contribute to its overall feeling or expressiveness? What might you have done differently in composing or processing the image? What story do you think I'm trying to tell with each image? Finally, in several instances I have included two or more images of the same subject; the point is that once you've photographed a subject, don't stop. Stay with it for a moment and see if it bears different interpretations. What other stories are there to tell about it? Are there other photo opportunities nearby? Many thanks for visiting my website. I welcome your comments and questions, and I wish you well in your quest to express your own thoughts and feelings through visual images! |
