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.

Lighthouse Day

DateWednesday, June 17, 2009 at 10:18PM

Today we drove to Crescent City and parked the trailer, then went visiting lighthouses.  We visited saw 5 but only visited 3.  One was 6 miles offshore and I did manage to get some interesting photos of it.  If you are interested, let me know.  Another was a private lighthouse and seemed to be stuck in a residential area.

It was a very exciting, interesting, and exhausting day.  We did get a nice surprise when we pulled into a dock and saw:

They are dredging around the pier and I got a nice series on them working.  The most fun was watching the tugs maneuver the barge they were putting the dredged material in.

Tomorrow we spend driving toward Bodie.  We hope to stay at an RV park near Bodie and then spend the following day photographing.  Then head for home.
