This is my third photo to order from Richard, and he always delivers his gorgeous images quickly. This one of Sonoma looks so beautiful framed with a burnt gold and maroon matting.BartPurchased Sonoma Coast Sunrise Stairs

Another great piece of photography art from this seller. This is my second purchase and both are stunning. They came much quicker. I don't even have the room painted or I would show photos of the wall.DenisePurchased Lake Tahoe Snowy Nevada View
Patience, persistence, and timing
To create art, I start with a good photograph. That requires being in the right place at the right time (which can mean getting up long before dawn to capture the morning light, or standing in 2 feet of snow). It requires persistence. The light may not be right, or the sun is behind clouds, or the animals aren't there. So often, I return again and again until the conditions are just right. It requires patience. I've often stood with my eye to my camera lens waiting for an animal to peek out from where they're hiding, or take off and move, or look my way.
And all that is just to capture a photo. But the camera is just a tool. It can't "see" what my mind's eye sees. To bring out the art requires long hours at the computer getting the image just right.
And all of this took years of practice.

Have you ever wondered how nature holds so much beauty, yet so much loss at the same time?
As a landscape photographer, my goal was to capture the beauty of Mono Lake, even as the sun climbed higher in the sky. Mono Lake is a unique place, one of the oldest lakes in North America, over 760,000 years old. Its water, almost three times as salty as the ocean, sparkles under the bright sun. The lake is a deep blue now, its colors richer and brighter as the day goes on. But beneath this beauty lies a sadness. Mono Lake is only half of what it once was. Much of its water has been taken away to supply Los Angeles, leaving the shoreline exposed and the habitat for birds and other wildlife shrinking.
I set out later in the morning, knowing that the perfect shot would be harder to find. The air was warmer, and the light had changed. The deep blues of the lake contrasted with the pale, dry land around it. I felt a mix of wonder and sorrow as I walked, the mystery of nature heavy in my heart.
The path to the lake was still, but the loss of water was clear to see. Places that once held water now lay bare, their cracked earth telling the story of a lake slowly disappearing. I hurried along, feeling the urgency to capture this moment before even more was lost. The sun was already high, its bright rays making the lake shine, but also casting long shadows over the dry ground.
When I reached the edge of the lake, I could see how much had changed. The blue water was beautiful, but it was clear that this place was not as it should be. The lake felt smaller, its shores too close. The sadness of what had been taken away hung in the air. I set up my tripod, determined to capture not just the beauty, but also the story of a place fighting to survive.
I took a deep breath and pressed the shutter. The light was bright, and the scene was stark yet striking. I paused, looking out over the lake, feeling a deep mix of emotions—admiration for its beauty and sorrow for its loss.
I had captured it. Mono Lake, with all its mystery and struggle, was now in my camera, a moment that might not last forever. As I packed up and walked back, I felt a quiet sadness but also a sense of purpose. This was why I loved being a photographer—to share both the beauty and the stories of places like this, before they are gone.
