Sun rays Beaming Down into Valley, Big South Fork National Recreation Area, Kentucky
Tag-Archive for » trees «
Early one morning this past fall I hiked out to a bluff at Big South Fork where I like to photograph. It offers so many photographic opportunities that I find myself drawn to it anytime that I am in the area. This time however it was so socked in with fog that I finally decided to head back. It was on the walk back that the fog shrouded forest inspired me to create this image.

On May 2-4 2014, I will be leading a workshop at Big South National Recreation Area where this image was created. You can find the details by clicking HERE .
“In some mysterious way woods have never seemed to me to be static things. In physical terms, I move through them; yet in metaphysical ones, they seem to move through me.” ~John Fowles
Light filters through the forest in the Pacific Northwest….
For me the forest holds an endless fascination….a mysterious invitation. I created this image a few years ago in Washington State.

As a photographer I am always in search of that moment when the light brings a magical dimension to the image I have composed. Whenever these elements come together I get just as excited as when I began this artistic journey to create images of nature with my camera many years ago….

Over the next year in addition to my regular blogging I am going to be introducing some image portfolios and impressions based on my photographic travels. The first of these is going to be the Southeast. I was raised in Meridian, Mississippi and began seriously photographing while living in Tennessee. I am intimately familiar with the south so it is only natural that I start this photographic journey here.
The Southeastern US is a land of incredible contrast and such amazing variety. From the beaches and swamps of Florida to the Smoky Mounatins and the Cumberland Plateau of Tennessee. Swamps, ancient mountains, rolling hills, deep green pine forests, and mysterious swamps are the just a few of this regions most distinctive features . Through the years I have followed my heart to explore and photograph places I was drawn to all over the area. Some of the spots have become so special to me that I return to them over and over again year after year. It was difficult to decide which images to share since I have so many to choose from. I settled on selecting images that I felt reflected some of the varied aspects of nature in the southeast. Here is a link to a portfolio of images:
