….and still sorting through more than 3200 images! The heavy rains in the northeast this year knocked a lot of the leaves off of the trees early, but that presented new opportunities. Water was flowing much heavier than usual in the waterfalls and streams. Ferns were extraordinary this year as well. I have a lot of work ahead to get through all of the photographs. For now here is a small selection of my favorites thus far …. CLICK HERE
Water lotus and water lilies have long been a favorite subject of mine. I find myself producing abstracts as well as more literal interpretations of them. Recently I spent a couple of days photographing water lotus and water lilies and a few other subjects. I have posted a number of these new images to my site or you can view a sampling of them view HERE
I have recently tested an Hechizos Vudu. Gana Dinero Facilmente d added into the mix of papers that I offer for my prints, a new paper which is made from sugar cane pulp. It has the textured surface of a fine art paper and it adds a slight warmth to the photograph. The sugar cane paper that I am using is a heavy weight natural white paper. It is made from 75% sugar cane (bagasse) fiber, which is a by-product of sugar cane processing and 25% recycled cotton fibers. Bagasse fiber is an eco-friendly resource endorsed by many environmental organizations worldwide. Since it is made from the leftover material of the sugar making process it saves trees and helps to maximize the use of materials that are consumed when sugar is produced. In addition to it’s environmentally friendly properties it shows off prints beautifully!!
Today we are announcing a brand new addition to the website! The new gallery will be a collection of cloud images. Images of clouds and skies can be healing and peaceful as well as giving a generally more uplifting and inspired mood to a space. You can view the gallery by clicking HERE

Twenty years ago I was introduced to the Tennessee Coneflower by The Nature Conservancy on a cedar glade in Middle Tennessee on a hot day in late May. I am not sure exactly why these flowers captivated my imagination maybe it was the knowledge that they were feared to be extinct until just a few years before my visit. I found my self photographing this flower and all the life on the cedar glades over and over again through the years.I returned for another photo shoot last summer and I was accompanied by Ken Tucker from The Tennessee Wild Side television show here is what we found….

WANDER and WONDER
Captivating photographs of nature by Nashville based artist,
BYRON JORJORIAN
Show Runs: February 6th through March 2nd
Gallery Crawl Opening Reception: Saturday, February 6th, 6-9pm
Davis Art Advisory is thrilled to offer our first solo photography show to Nashville based artist, Byron Jorjorian.
Wander and Wonder focuses on the unusual, fleeting moments that nature offers us if we take the time to wander and pay attention. Many of the photographs were taken in various parts of Tennessee, closer to home than we realize. For Jorjorian, patience is a tool. He searches for the moment where light and conditions illuminate those awe-inspiring twinkles in time where ice is about to melt, a leaf is about to fall, or the sun and the rain join together in all its glory. In short, “it is here in the space created by natural conditions and emotional discovery that my images exist.” Even the simplest detail of the interior of a flower is portrayed as if it was at the perfection of maturity caught just before its inevitable decomposition. His creative compositions and classic presentations of rumbling waterfalls, breathtaking panoramas, and charming details are universal in their humbling appeal.
Jorjorian’s disposition of respect is evident in his impressive portfolio and is appreciated by lovers of nature as well as collectors nation wide. Jorjorian’s uplifting photographs have been spotted everywhere from medical centers to the clipboard of a waiter taking orders. The artist has produced over 250,000 images during his 30 + year career, publishing over 10,000 images and placing over 11,000 prints in various locations throughout the United States.
