Welcome Transition
The John Day National Monument, Painted Hills Unit is near Mitchell, Oregon, USA. One glance at the landscape conjures millennia of extreme geologic changes. Experts tell us a once tropical climate was followed by a volcanic period during the Eocene and Oligocene epoch. more

Highgate Revelation
It was a happy accident when the apartment I rented for a brief stay in London with another photographer friend just happened to be a stone’s throw from the famous Highgate Cemetery. more
Columbia Gorge Waterfalls
Much of the boundary between the Pacific Northwest states of Washington and Oregon is defined by the Columbia River on the final leg of its epic 1,200 mile journey from the Canadian Rockies to the Pacific Ocean. more
Solitude or Isolation?
I love the connection with nature, the time spent in the elements, and the sheer joy of creating and printing an image. The benefits to me are immeasurable and far outweigh any downside more
Defining Self Expression in Photography
Thinking about all this brought to mind the Paul Strand quote above. I confess that this quote used to cause me much consternation. Do I have something to say about the world? If so, what is it? Am I supposed to be saying something about the world in my photographs? more
Sigfrido Zimmermann
I find joy in sharing my knowledge of biology with my audience and especially when I’m able to do that through my photographs. I like to bring awareness to organisms or ecological processes that my audience might not have known about. more
Black in the Landscape
Real black is rather rare in the landscape. The black clouds on the horizon, the black depths of a lake, or the blackness of the night sky are rarely, in fact, black. Photographers require light to record on film or a digital sensor, and black is the absence of light. Black surfaces are those that absorb most of the light falling on them and emit little back more
Through the Imaginative Landscape of J. M. W. Turner

End frame: Dancing in the Moonlight by Wim Vooijs
While they are not mirror images, they are beautifully balanced. The reflection is like an echo of the moon. more
Theo Bosboom – Back to Iceland
Theo’s book, Iceland Pure sits alongside my copy of the Haaberg’s Iceland in All its Splendour and Hans Strand’s Iceland: Above and Below as my reference sources for images of Iceland’s sublime beauty. more
Jim Becia – Portrait of a Photographer
I think my main takeaway from studying Jim’s work and his approach to making images is that we should all give ourselves permission to focus on things that bring us joy instead of chasing what has become popular. more
Landscape Narratives
‘Landscape Narratives’ is a series of visual conversations taking place between colour, shape and texture. All three of these elements can be found in landscapes from the broad flatlands or rolling gentle hills to mountainous regions and anywhere in between. more
Michael Faint
The light is utterly absorbing, especially the late evening light of autumn and spring, and never ceases to amaze. In recognition, I titled my website An Solas Òir, ‘The Golden Light’ in Gaelic. more
