After wading up a stream for a 100 yards or so I came upon this scene. It is moments like these that make it clear to me that I am living the dream!

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.

“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….

“Nature is not only what is visible to the eye – it also presents the inner pictures of the soul – the images on the reverse side of the eye.” (Edvard Munch)

When I explore the smaller details of nature with my camera I am in reality experiencing the moment fully and expressing that experience as an image.

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.
