The curator there liked my stuff, and I had a show. The charity where I work used all my photography for the calendar they produced this year, and that was a lot of fun. I ll be on the team that produces next year s calendar as well, and although my work won t be featured, I ll be a part of it. That really keeps me inspired. . I inquired as to any particular philosophy that guides his photography.
Nature is full of drama.
Placement of the sun low and off-center accentuated the drama of the backlit clouds, and made the line of trees into a pleasing silhouette, thanks in part to the lack of exposure latitude of the slide film I used for the photo. Exposure was critical to the success of this image. In order to make sure the viewer saw the darkness of the clouds as I did, I underexposed by a full stop. I do photography because I enjoy it. First and foremost, it s for me.
