We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in 2012

As 2011 comes to a close, we are reminded of all we are grateful for - especially our relationship with you. Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, and for the many effusive compliments about Byron’s work. We wish you a happy holiday season and much success in the new year!

Here are some of the photographic results of hiking 1240 feet down into a ravine and back up and out over a distance of 8 miles.

Here is the photographic result of taking a wrong turn in the middle of the night and falling down a short (7ft) flight of stairs the next night.

One concussion, 8 stitches, a few CAT scans, EEGs and some x-rays later …. I’m back out into the wilderness where it is safer!

I recently returned from MIchigan, and I wanted to share a few images from this remarkable area. I was struck by the variety of subjects that I found. Texture and color blend together in Michigan to create a remarkable and inspiring canvas! View a few images from the trip click HERE

Pardon my absence. I just came back from the first leg of my fall photography trips. This year I started in Colorado. The colors were outstanding! In addition to getting some new images for my fine art nature photography library collection, I discovered even more places to return to later. I have posted a small collection of images from the shoot HERE. These images will soon be available on the web site for purchase. Stay tuned in coming weeks for images from West Virginia,  Michigan and more.

There are so many fascinating aspects to nature and to fine art nature photography. One of the most rewarding is discovery of images in unexpected places. Recently, while creating photographs of a magnificent waterfall in California, I took a break and looked at the trees behind me. In a small area of peeling bark I found an abstract as exciting as the waterfall itself. Nature reveals her beauty in many ways. It is these serendipitous moments that keep me out there shooting year after year.

I first became involved with the Tennessee Coneflower nearly 21 years ago. At that time I created photographs of the flower everyday for 2  months and ended up with an image being chosen for the phone book cover for the entire state of Tennessee.

See a video about my early involvement with the TN Coneflower HERE. It is exciting to see that the tireless efforts of the Nature Conservancy and so many state and local agencies have finally paid off!

This time it has been featured as the #1 pick by the Shopping Diva in the Tennessean newspaper for July 28th 2011 in the Life section!

Another nice review of the Missing Nature Show, featuring Byron’s fine art nature photographs appeared in the Davidson AM section of the Tennessean Newspaper this week. For a link to the article click HERE.

On another note the show has been tentatively extended until September 10th.

Today is National Nature Photography Day. Enjoy our natural world in person and in pictures.

It is now common knowledge that nature images in healthcare facilities are an essential element to the well being of patients and contribute positively to the mental state of visitors. Once you accept these facts, the next logical step in the thought process is the realization that nature images can contribute to the mental and physical well being of the population in general. If a beautiful image of nature helps a patient in the hospital by lowering stress levels, blood pressure and speeding the healing process, doesn’t it stand to reason that such images can have positive benefits on our lives in environments other than just hospitals and clinics? What about retirement communities, corporate offices, government offices, schools and of course our homes? These are all places where the therapeutic effect of fine art nature photographs would be welcomed.  It is exciting to think that fine art nature photographs may have such a positive affect on our emotional and physical well being that they may in fact help to make our trips to the doctor less frequent and our daily lives less stressful.
