“I took on the challenge of learning photography as a means to an end”
Alex Plasko, Photographer, US – Arizona
My journey into the world of photography began out of necessity; I needed to photograph a series of products that I developed. I’ve always found great pleasure in learning, so I took on the challenge of learning photography as a means to an end, but didn’t predict that it would become such an integral creative outlet in my life. Now, many years later, I find the creativity and artistic release of photography to be an essential part of my life. What began as a tool of necessity so many years ago has blossomed into a cornerstone of experience.
Artist statement:
Art is borne of the necessity to interpret and communicate the human experience. While photography is a static medium, there is no reason it cannot communicate the fluidity and dynamism…

The heat index in Florida is really ratcheting up! But I am staying busy with new commissions and a search for a beach cottage. 🙂 Stay tuned!

The Golden State
Many people think California is called “The Golden State” because of the gold rush but it’s actually because the hills turn golden brown in the summer and the fields of poppies that bloom in the springtime. This was taken up on Mt. Diablo about a month ago. I really love the majestic oaks that dot the hillsides.

The Eye of the Sun
You can see my wordless Wednesday post for 06/10/2105 at http://photos.tandlphotos.com/blog/2015/6/continuing-construction. A lot has changed in 4 years. We’ve gone from super dry with forest fires on this date in 2011 to above average snowfall and rainfall for the first 6 months of 2015. I also no longer have any Olympus digital cameras or lenses (I’m down to only two digital DSLR cameras and lenses), and I have gone from zero film cameras in 2011 to three 4X5 inch view cameras, two 6X7 medium format cameras, one 35mm film camera and a complete darkroom in 2015.
