About Me

My name is Michael Morris, I am a photographer who came to photography later in life.  I started with digital and found it unrewarding so after a short time with MF, I moved to LF 4X5.  Almost everything I do now is large format B&W.  I am working to improve my technical and artistic skills constantly.  Living in Phoenix, I have access to some very good photographers who are willing to help and teach.  I am on a journey exploring photography, the US, and myself to some extent.  Along with my wife Mary, we are traveling the US together, cameras follow us everywhere and as we travel, this BLOG is updated.  It is very much a journal of my journey with ramblings about everything from the photograph I took while traveling, to the ah-ha moments when something new is grasped.

The old masters work is enthralling to me and I spend a lot of time looking at their work as well as most other work I have access to.

More Vulture

This was shot just before the chair from yesterday.  The tripod legs were spread out quite a bit to get the camera at a low angle.  I was unable to get it quite as low as hoped but the photo is pleasing.  In the darkroom I was able to get good separation between the bedframe and the walls and floor.  

Today I hope to finish printing any other 4X5s from the trip and start on 8X10 contact prints.  There are 3 that I wish to print.

This concept and framing is very pleasing to me but the focus is not quite what I wanted to see  so it will not be printed.
