I strive to capture what moves me on an emotional and aesthetical level. In pursuit of that, I visualize the image I want; and sometimes will happen upon the serendipity of something elusive-like a bird on the wing painted by a fading sun. My ultimate goal is to bring about a commitment to cherish the environment and a resolve to conserve our ever- diminishing natural habitats. The body of the current work has been photographed from the Carolinas through the Everglades and Florida Keys; and from the southwestern states of Arizona and Utah to the Yosemite Valley and the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The work includes land- and sea-scapes; wildlife; waterfalls; Fall colors; desert and mountainous vistas; and slot canyons. The art pieces are produced in color and black and white in a variety of papers and canvas. They are available in framed prints, on gallery wraps, and matted prints. As for techniques: at times, I use the darkroom (in my case, the digital one) to enhance the work by adding filters and\/or painting with light. Panoramic and high dynamic range images are also available. A native of Ireland, I spent many years in Europe as a student and worker-primarily in France and Italy where I was surrounded by art in all forms from numerous centuries. In my work today, I draw from that influence and from my formal education in art appreciation and history; and photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.07 x 11 x 8.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 15, 2013\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42168318853255,"sku":"9781493781126","price":27.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/62b8e82497f72b1d12baa628235ce06e.webp?v=1733334499","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-fishing-piers-of-florida-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
