FEATURED ARTIST OF THE WEEK

I am thrilled to be the featured artist on the Fine-Art-Photographers blog this week. It is a place to discuss photography from a fine art point of view.

THE COLORADO SERIES

Photographing Colorado has been a dream of mine for over 25 years. The first time I was inspired was when I looked through a black and white landscape photography book that had been given to me as a gift. I saw these gorgeous landscapes of nature that had been taken by the photographer Ansel Adams. From that moment, I knew that I wanted to experience Colorado first hand and explore its scenic beauty and history.

Dreams do come true. With 3 camera bodies in tow, along with the very last of the discontinued Kodak Infrared High-Speed Film, I got to travel to Colorado this past September of 2010.

As an artist, I strive to create works that capture and preserve the beauty in nature and in vanishing places. The body of work includes the mining town of Silver Plume, Rocky Mountain National Park, Red Rocks Park, the Sangre de Cristo Mountain Range and parts of Southern Colorado.
