Landscapes and Environmental Portraits

 Eliot Porter started loving photography since childhood. He originally planned to be a bio chemist but the people around him including Ansel Adams inspired him to pursue photography. He liked to photograph birds and landscapes of ecological diversity and the environmental stresses they faced. He also
published several books in his lifetime. He was most was famous for his dye transfer printing.


This photo Redbud Tree in Gymnasium, Olympia, Greece, April 14, 1967 is of a beautiful tree in grece with gray pillars in the background. This photo is a great example of converging lines,  texture, time, and space + scale. I am not sure of the story behind this photo, but it makes me feel like im stepping into a fairytale. As if right through those pillars is going to come an old storyteller with a captivating tale to tell me with wise truths woven deep within the story.

This photo East Penobscot Bay, Maine, 1938 is of a open lightly cloudy sky and a bay lined with little row boats and traps. This photo is a great example of  time, space + scale, and deep depth of field. When Porter met Ansel Adams he and others inspired him to take up landscapes following there style. This inspiration lead him to shoot along the Maine coast and northern New England. This photo reminds me of our house in Maine, and our church gatherings at the bay with all my old friends where we used to swim, fish and dig for clams.

My trip to the beach in Maine...

I only took a few good post-able shots, the rest of them where all of my friends and such. After I took these pictures I realized my lens was dirty so there is a blurry spot in all of my pictures at the beach...

(to see the pictures you have to click on them the format does not allow them to be there normal size)

This first one is lousy but i took it on the way there so i figured i might as well put this in as well....

This one is of the beach...

This one was fun, I got the backs of my whole family looking at the ocean.

One of just the water...

My fav one :)

But my mom likes this one better  :P

One from the parking lot...

Last one before leaving :)

We had LOTS of fun there even if it was freezing cold! ;D

A few landscapes that i took in the car and one on my deck....

I know i didnt really get up to this yet but i took some a fun pictures a few days ago and i took some on the way to co-op (they turned out TERRIBLY but im gonna post them anyway)
Icky ones first :)

That was the cropped version here is the original.....

The best pic out of the fun ones i took....

I love it the sky looks like its a watercolor...(i love to paint with watercolors ;D)
