My interest in photography came from an inability for rote memorization–I could remember graphically instead. My early learning was as a naturalist and I used my photography as a way to share my world as I was seeing it.
I shifted from 35mm/medium/large format film as digital capture developed and have used Photoshop since ver. 3. I was self-taught early on but took 18 digital imaging courses when I realized seat-of-the-pants alone would not make it.
Now, I teach nature and digital imaging workshops, in the field, and one-to-one Photoshop Lightroom, Photoshop, and general photography.
When I'm working, I'm making images and when I'm relaxing I'm making images.
Peace,
Ed Book

Charles,
I like your choice of subject, one I photograph often, but its unclear if your intent was to be a simple silhouette or to have detail in the bird. If it wa...

I like this type of image, recording only enough to tell it's location and rendering it to abstract. The lack of people in your image did give the impression of lon...
