FROM BILL: “This tree was a special circumstance; I was out after a pretty snow and saw a tree way out in a field and wanted to shoot it, but it was behind a fence and way out in the field. I did not have my longer telephoto lens with me and then it dawned on me I could fly out to it!!! I flew the drone out across the field and then adjusted my altitude to get the composition and background I wanted and then shot it! I converted the shot to monochrome in post and my feet were dry! I didn’t have to climb the fence and then walk onto private property, and I got the shot!!!”

nature and the starting point for my images is the direct experience of nature. Taking the path less traveled does help in the creation of unique images, but even more important is bringing who I am as a person to my images. This includes my emotions and thoughts, both at the time of capture and also while processing the image. Success in photography, finding my own vision, is the integration of my direct experience with nature with who I am as a person, my authentic self. If the resulting images also resonate with others who share in my vision, then I have created photographic art.
