When my sister was once looking at my work, she expressed amazement at my being able to find beautiful places to shoot where I live, in Columbus, Ohio.  I understood what she was saying.  We don’t have oceans, mountains or any spectacular geologic features that has anyone clamoring to set aside land for a national park.  It is Ohio Woodlands.  I love living in a place that experiences four distinct and equally divided seasons.  I lived in Montana for two years.  Spring and fall are beautiful but they each last for about ten minutes.  I missed the seasons. The woodlands can be a challenge to shoot.  It requires you to look harder.  It requires greater creativity to develop a vision for your work.  I enjoy the challenge.  We have a wonderful metropark system in central Ohio. I am blessed to live just a short drive from some great places to hike and take photographs – throughout each of the seasons.
