One of my primary motivations, as a photographic artist is to share the beauty I find in nature. It is interesting, that even with sharing as one of the goals, the actual creation of my art is ultimately a solitary pursuit….

We don’t often get to view our large scale photographic print installations, but we were fortunate enough to get these shots sent to us by a client of ours from one of our installations which is currently underway. I wanted to take this opportunity to share these photographs with you.

This one is 12 feet high by more than 55 feet long!!!

Stay tuned – when the project is complete we should be able to show you what the finished installation looks like!!

Today I printed a 40×60 gallery wrapped canvas print of this image for a client. It has been a popular abstract With my clients and is one of my  personal favorites. So I wanted to take a few minutes to share it with you. Visualizing a deeply three dimensional scene such as this as a two dimensional abstract photograph is exciting to me. Then composing and creating the image and finally to see it output as a massive print to share with others is thrilling! I created this image while hiking at the bottom of a gorge in Big South Fork National Recreation area in Tennessee.

Late this November, after a long day of photography in North Alabama, I packed up my gear, hoisted my pack and began the hike to my car. I had not gone far along the river bank when I noticed these maple leaves. They were on a small sapling growing out from the boulders near the rivers edge. I stopped, dropped my pack and set up the tripod again. The right composition wasn’t readily visible and I found myself working around the leaves until I settled on this composition. Sometimes just telling myself that I am done for the day releases my creativity and I see images I might otherwise have walked past. Often I find that I start back down the trail and spot something else to photograph over and over again all the way back. A thirty minute hike can turn into an hour and a half without even being aware of the passing of time.

You know you are doing something you love when you can’t stop. No matter how tired and hungry you are….
