SOUTHWEST USA Images: Desert Landscapes (Highlights from four States)
My web site www.photoseek.com shows highlights of my 30 years of nature travel photography. For starters, take a look at My Fine Art Gallery.
Early influences on my photography have been the California flower images of my botanist father, the images in National Geographic Magazine, and the creative outdoor adventure photography of the late Galen Rowell. In 1978, I purchased my first 35mm SLR camera for shooting color slide film. For nine months in 1981, I traveled around the world seeing New Zealand, Nepal, Norway, France, & Switzerland. Ever since that trip of a lifetime, I have lived in the State of Washington, a place of exceptionally diverse beauty, a great home base for launching excursions to over 20 countries.
Since Fall 2003, digital cameras have rejuvinated my photography with instant feedback and new features. Compact digital cameras make perfect travel companions, easily beating the size, weight and quality of my earlier 35mm film cameras. As of 2007, digital SLR cameras such as my Nikon D40X put more power than ever in a lightweight body, especially when coupled with a sharp image-stabilized lens.
Over 100 of my images have been published (click here for portfolio) in books (National Geographic Traveler Greece; Moon Turkey Handbook; Dorling Kindersley), magazines (Nature Journal of Science; Sierra; Wilderness Travel Catalog of Adventures; PC Photo), Reuters News Pictures Service, and other publications. I also teach photography workshops and present world-class photo travel shows in the Seattle area.I invite you to purchase a print or license a file of any image .
