The Photographer
I
do photography and photographic technology under the business name,
Datamaster Designs. The office is in my home on the east side of Eureka,
surrounded by redwood trees but just a fifteen minute walk from downtown.
There are always photos on display, and sometimes I am even here,
working on the computers in Photoshop, adding images to a custom-developed
database for a client, or planning the next aerial photography flight.
You are always welcome to drop by. If you are traveling through Eureka,
please give me a call and I can fax or tell you directions.
Its usually a good idea to call ahead (707 445-8425) or e-mail
me datamaster@northcoastphotos.com
to make sure someone will be in the office. So drop by if youre
in the neighborhood. Portland, Oregon is 400 miles north and San Francisco
is only 300 miles south. Some of the worlds most beautiful forests,
ocean beaches and wilderness are along the way. It doesnt take
long for a tour and I would be delighted to meet you!
The
North Coast of California presents a visual delight to anyone taking
the time to look, whether as a photographer or interested observer.
With geographic diversity, coastal fog in summer, storms in winter,
and the sun likely to break through at any time of year, our local
landscapes become a tapestry of ever-changing depth and light. Here
is a wonderful place to capture the unique combination of light, atmosphere
and landscape. When grace and grandeur coincide for a brief moment,
I take photographs as special gifts to be shared, especially at those
rare times when light and vista almost suggest another dimension.
That unique instant
of time and creation reflects the beauty of the moment and, with camera
in hand, sometimes just a slight shift in perspective puts the scene
into a balance that is more felt than seen. Other
times in the air, its simply an intuitive snap of the shutter
at a moments notice while flying by at 100mph. The
shutter clicks. The light changes, and the moment fades. Later in
the photograph, I can contemplate the subtle shapes and proportion
- seeing once again the harmony of God's creation that invites us
all to wonder.
