    My goal is to remove context within a landscape, distilling down to its essence,in order to convey the energ y o a subject or scene in a resh way,

    much as snow simpli es the land.

    For me, these images defect the minds tendency to dwell on the concrete issues o place and name when viewing a subject.

    Te spirit o a place or an object can be more strongly conveyed.

    I have been a photographer for 35 years. I started out with my rst camerain 1974, a 35mm Pentax Spotmatic camera. Over the years, I have mostoften photographed natural patterns and other details in the landscape.In 1982, I acquired a 4x5 eld camera, and for the next 20 years, I pho -tographed mostly with 4x5 transparency lm. I continued to concentrateon photographing landscape details as well as broad views and dramaticlight.

    My intention in using a large format camera was to render nature withgreat detail such that the amazing textures and eloquent light on my sub -

    jects became extra-ordinary. I have been using Canons high resolutionDSLRs, rst the EOS 1Ds, then the Mark II, and currently the 1Ds Mark III,to create most of my images. No matter the tool, however, my goal hasremained the same to inspire passion for the natural world and convey

    my emotional response to the subjects I photograph that of awe andwonder.

    My most recent work is entitled Impressions of Light. About two years ago,I discovered a new way for me to convey such an emotional response. Igive credit for this inspiration to students taking an online course I teach,offered by BetterPhoto.com. They had picked up some blurring, or paint -

    ing with light techniques from other instructors, mainly Tony Sweet andBrenda Tharp. I had a visceral response to their images. I tried it outmyself in the summer of 2005, became very intrigued by the possibilities,and immersed myself in creating this new portfolio of work.

    I have long been intrigued by the motion studies of the great color pho -tographer Ernst Haas. Freeman Patterson has also used camera mo -tion as a technique, as well as other methods for creating impressionisticphotographs. Since I was a boy, I have loved impressionistic painting.My mother was a docent at the National Art Gallery when we lived nearWashington, D.C. as a teenager. I was inspired by the en plein air ap -proach of Monet and by the pointillism of Van Gogh I viewed there. Artwas one of my favorite elective courses during high school.

    The motion studies seen in my Impressions of Light work are simply an -other way to depict the deeply moving beauty I see in Nature. The tech -nical aspect of sharpness or softness of focus doesnt matter to me ulti -mately.

    I try all kinds of movement, up and down or sideways, starting and stop -ping, and changing direction in the middle of the exposure. Sometimes I

    just jiggle the camera. Its a learning process, a sort of feedback loop.Every frame is different. I tend to photograph in bursts of ve to ten im -ages at one shutter speed. I then watch the images come up on the LCDto see what happened. Based on what I see, I adjust shutter speed, focallength or my camera position to re ne the effect.

    This process continues until I think Ive created something good. I endup with dozens, and sometimes a few hundred images, after I try all thecreative options I can think of. The additional size and brightness of thelatest LCD screens, like on my Canon 1DS Mark III, is very helpful in pre -viewing my results.

    Editing the large number of images I create is greatly aided by the use ofAdobe Lightroom. The selection process involves rating of the images

    that appear to have the most potential, and once I have several similarframes, I use the Compare View. My ranki ng system is quite simple. Theinitial edit of images that have possibilities receive three stars. After us -ing the Compare View, the best of similar frames receive four stars. As Ibegin to work with the four star images in Lightrooms Develop module orin Photoshop, the very best of those receive ve stars.

    In terms of composing, I start out with an image design that would work forme as a sharp photograph. A great advantage to making these images isthe freeform and spontaneous style of capturing them, but I am also verycareful to apply the same standards of quality of any composition I make.Since the camera is moving during the exposure, it is not possible tocontrol exactly where objects land within the frame. Most compositionalissues, such as distracting bright areas along the frames edge, can becorrected by responding to feedback from the LCD. Any other problemswith composition can be solved in the editing process, as I make enoughsimilar images that usually at least one works out.

    The most important note on my technique is that these images are allsingle exposures created with camera motion only. Having seen othertechniques used, such as multiple exposure methods, I nd the single ex -

    posure approach works best for the mood I wish to create. The resultingimages have an organic and painterly look. Other approaches often lookheavily manipulated or Photoshoped, while my style is to work with thetextures and light and color I see in my camera.

    Even when I use my camera set to its lowest ISO and the lens stopped waydown, often theres still too much ambient light to permit a long enough

    exposure time. In that case, I use a Singh-Ray Vari-ND lter,with which I can adjust neutral density to reduce the light en -tering the camera by up to eight stops. This tool has greatlyincreased both my options in bright lightings conditions, andin controlling the balance of aperture and shutter speed. Forexample, with my ower close-ups, I can still use a slow shut -ter speed even when using the widest apertures.

    In most images, I make a few minor adjustments in Photo -shop, including boosting contrast lost when a scenes bright -er areas blur into darker ones. I output images with Can -ons 12-color, pigment-based image-PROGRAF iPF6100and iPF8000 printers, which have 24- and 44-inch carriagewidths, respectively. I usually print on Canons HahnemuhlePhoto Rag, a watercolor-style paper. This paper is very ef -fective at accentuating the painterly feel of these images.

    The other night I watched an amazing DVD entitled AndyGoldsworthys Rivers & Tides. If you are not familiar with hisart, I highly recommend that you check out his books and thisDVD. He is dedicated to connecting with Nature, especiallyaround his home in Scotland, and this DVD shows him atwork, and talking about his art.

    I scribbled down some notes as I watched this inspirationaldocumentary. As I listened to him express his own philoso -phy, I realized, in a more concrete way, what I am trying to dowith my Impressions of Light series:

    Remove the context; distill down to the essence, in orderto convey the energy of a subject or scene in a fresh

    way, much as snow simpli es the landscape.

    For me, these images defect the minds tendency todwell on the concrete issues of place and name when

    viewing a subject. The spirit of a place or anobject is less objecti ed and can

    be more strongly conveyed.

    Im trying to stretch, not just to be different but also to nd newways to express what Ive been trying to show all along - thebeauty of nature. It may sound trite, but thats still what mo -tivates my photographic explorations. In order to both growand survive creatively as an artist, I have found it important topush myself in new directions, in other words, to evolve.

    Success towards this goal cannot be achieved passively, butit must be sought out. I have tried to adhere to the conceptthat as an artist, one should always question ones own pre -conceived notions!
