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.

Another Day in Paradise

No, not facetious, it was simply a beautiful day here in Fort Bragg.  It was warm enough to wear a short-sleeved shirt, long pants however.  It was cool by the ocean but get a couple hundred yards form the beach and it was very nice.  We shot at the harbor and Glass Beach this morning, in Mendocino a bit early afternoon and then did some more exploring this afternoon.  We are both quite tired as we come back totally exhausted every evening.  We slept in this morning and took it easy this afternoon.  Most shooting today was B&W, the harbor and beach were 4X5 and in Mendocino 35mm.

We went back to Glass Beach after supper, the photo above was taken then.   I also shot some 4X5 B&W of the ocean and a macro of some seaweed.

Tomorrow we will be be heading down to Point Arena Lighthouse and possibly shoot there after dark.  Then on Sunday we will be heading North to Eureka for a few days.
