Through My Lens

Saturday, November 6, 2010

On a recent trip to Toas, NM I had the chance to shoot the pueblo and pay homage to Ansel Adams.

khedquist: Ansel Adams said, "You don't take a photograph, you make it." In my own way, I wish to make images that are not only visually stimulating, but will also stir our emotions. Photography has always been a part of my life. As a young boy I was encouraged to “take” pictures. My interests changed often. The constant was photography. Through my life, I have changed equipment, technique and, how I view the world. My goal is still to "make" pictures, a never ending learning process. I prefer black and white because the rawness strips away distractions and draws on emotion. I love color and believe that a full color pallet adds vibrancy and warmth also important in photography. I have been fortunate enough to have success being a winner and finalist regularly on several online photography contests that include top amateur and professional photographers world wide. Recently I was chosen as the Grand Prize winner for an international contest. That image, "Maestro" along with another will be included in a photography book published soon. I am very excited about that. My photographs are here for you to enjoy. It has given me great pleasure making and sharing them. Visit often. Cheers, Kevin
