I love hiking and being in the outdoors. Frankly, I even enjoy hikes that are strenuous. The hiking and physical part of getting to the locations that I photograph adds to the richness of the experience and clears my mind, setting the stage for the creative process to begin.  With that in mind here is an image I created when everything finally came together. And here is a Iphone photograph of the trail I hiked 6 times over 2 days seeking the right light.

We are proud to announce the addition of the critically acclaimed abstract photography of Taylor Jorjorian to our site. Taylor is a pioneer in abstract imagery and we think that his work will add greatly to the breadth and depth of the work we have on our site. Here is a link to view his work http://www.byronjorjorian.com/gallery/43-0.html.

I am following Nature without being able to grasp her … ~ Claude Monet

By stripping away the familiar characteristics of color, black and white photography of nature reveals something new. It highlights a different aspect of the relationships between shapes, form, contrast and composition in the natural world.

I recently added a black and white gallery to the website you can view it HERE

“Everything you can imagine is real.” – Pablo Picasso

Most of my photography features almost no photoshop manipulation. Usually just cleanup of dust and slight contrast and saturation adjustments to get a result similar to what I used to achieve with film. This image however, is purely from my imagination….

For a fun experiment I will be posting three images each day for three days. These were from a recent trip to the Redwoods Parks in California.

The artist in me is drawn to water. It is formless and shapeless while assuming all of the shapes and forms it flows into. It reflects the environment and reveals secrets hidden beneath its’ surface.
