ECHOES OF LIGHT   23" x 35"   WSKG PRICE: $200

"Echoes of Light" got it's name from the way the light was 'echoing' from one wall to the other just as sound did that day in Echo Canyon, which is a part of the trail to the East Rim in Zion National Park, Utah.  The photograph is a C-print from a medium format negative, printed by a custom printing shop.

Artist statement:

"I enjoy the discovery part of photography.  I like to find images that show Nature in a way that I and perhaps others have not seen before.  And then to get something out of that discovery process, something that I can keep and share with others, my photographs are born on film mostly, nurtured digitally, printed with archival inks, and matted and framed at my home studio.  People viewing my work have commented:  "That looks like a painting."  When asked to explain the comment, one said, "Everything is in the right place,"  which means that the composition is pleasing to the eye.
