In my pursuit of creating great art, I applied to be a member of the KGAC. This entails more than simply paying a membership fee. You must first submit 5 samples of your work to be judged by a panel of artists. I am happy to report that I have been accepted.

I have consciously started to educate myself about Fine Art Photography. I say consciously because over the last 40 years working as a photographer I certainly have learned a lot about photography. No, this is different, fine tuned maybe. My goal for my “Fine Art Photographs” is for them to be more than a nice photograph, but rather a great piece of Art. To that end, I have started reading a book on black and white printing by master photographer and printer George DeWolf. I came across his work reading about the Santa Fe Workshops no comments Spring in Kentucky can be an exciting time. Tornado warnings, thunderstorms, lightning and heavy rains. The silver lining is warmer temps. and nature coming alive again after a long winters sleep. “Spring Rain” is part of a series I am working on depicting the Barns of Jessamine County. This beauty lies on the south side of 169. no comments
This is an unusual image for me. One early morning when I was out shooting in some fog I had one camera mounted on a tripod and another over my shoulder. I was concentrating on shooting a barn scene with the tripod mounted camera and was unawre that my other camera was being “accidently” triggered. When I got back to the studio I was surprised to see this image. To be honest it looked terrible and I almost sent it to the trash. My instincts told me to work on the shot, and I’m glad I did.

I love the ethereal look of this photograph especially when printed on Archival Watercolor paper!  Infusion
