Field Notes-4 (2012)

"three people near edge of the grand canyon" (c) 2012 george elsasser


Here are some images from my recent Southwest trip.  In a place of such overwhelming power and sublimity the problem exists for me "How do I make interesting images that are different from the ones I have typically seen from these areas"?

Generally the ones I have seen are traditional landscape style images and are not my cup of tea. Not that making really good ones in that genre is remotely easy it is not, but there are plenty of great ones out there.

It is my hope to create new thoughts and feelings from a well worn photographic subject.  I hope occasionally I have succeeded.   Thanks for visiting, I will add more images here as time permits.

Field Notes-3 (2012)

"man and unbrella" (c) 2012 george elsasser



Some images I made in Atlanta that I'm interviewing with many more in the woodshed.  Some are more singular images while others have more of a strait document feeling. To note I enjoyed chatting with many friendly people from the city it is a great town wish I had more time there.  I was also able to spend some time working on the road this summer in Charlotte, Durham, Gatlinburg and Ashville.

I don't think any of these are keepers but I am getting my feet wet with new software, new PC, new OS, add infi-NIGHTMARE!  Yes its Pita time once again.  Wow what a time we live in, it should keep all our brains very sharp.

I have a trip coming up, going to the southwest/4 corners area so that should be interesting. Don't think you will find any great American landscapes from me but we will see, last trip there was an eye opener.
