I am sorting and selecting images of Australia from my recent trip. While doing this I look out the window in my home to see the ocean, whales, and birds and the contrast between here and Australia is dramatic. Everything about the Pacific Northwest and Australia landscapes are different and is wonderful to have both experiences.

Working with the Australia images is fun as the colours are from the warm palette (very warm) and there is no doubt the final images for printing will be artist interpretations based on my memory of the experience. There is also no doubt in my mind a camera is just a tool and it captures its own interpretation of the scene and often very different from the final print. Fun!

I’ve chosen images for printing and my website that reveal a different view of what is typically photographed. They reach a little further into details of the landscape or situation. My home website is updated with some of the images and are in the “Recent” section.
