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.

Vulture Mine Redux

We went back to Vulture Mine yesterday.  It was the first time Mary has been there.  We met one of the blog readers there and had a very good day shooting.  I went there to redo a couple of the photos I hosed up the prior week, but only redid 1 of them.  As soon as I entered the first building I started seeing things that I had not seen before.  It was quite interesting and exciting.  It was probably the best, in terms of creativity, outing I have had all year.  Quite a bit of film was exposed and most was done correctly technically as well as having a pleasing quality.
