Ned BadertscherSara\'s interest in photography began when she received her first digital camera. Ned is a long time amateur who envies her photographic eye, and whose enthusiasm since \"going digital\" has never been greater. Retired and living in beautiful Carlsbad, their days are filled with beach walks, traveling, and developing their personal photographic visions.

 
 
 

Carrie BartonFor Carrie Barton, photography is not only a passion but a way of seeing. Through the camera, she shows the big picture as well as emphasizes the details. Every subject holds potential in color, pattern, beauty, or emotion, but her favorites are landscapes and nature, architecture, abstracts, and aerial photography. She shoots with a Nikon D100 but rarely manipulates photos in the computer beyond the darkroom basics.

Carol BonomoI consider myself a plein air digital artist, since I take a camera, connector, ipad, and stylus everywhere I go. Most of my photographs are uploaded to my ipad, converted to black and white, and then selectively handpainted.

 
 
 

Jeffrey R. BrosbeI look upon creating the image much as a poet must feel about creating a haiku. It should be whole in its surface observation while offering commentary in its interpretation. In 1994, more than three decades later after my start in photography, I offered my art to the general public with the creation of Beyond Words Fine Art Photography.

Peter FayPhotography has been a passion for much of Peter\\\'s life but it wasn\\\'t until he retired from a career in engineering that he had the time to really pursue it. The primary sources of inspiration and material for his portfolio have been worldwide travel and hiking in wilderness, but he has also found wonderful material right in \\\"his own backyard\\\".

Bob MandichTwo of my favorite hobbies are travel and photography--especially people. I enjoy the interaction and rapport with the subjects, even if is only a conversation, a \"Please\", \"Thank you\" or a handshake. My first gallery is an example of this.

 
 
 

Joyce Mateprojects her connection to nature, especially through her floral and landscape images. Nature scenes, particularly in the Midwest, stir her artistic emotions. All in all, if a scene can be photographed and Joyce has her camera nearby, she\'ll capture it. Joyce won First Place (Blue Ribbon Award) at the International Exhibition of Photography, 2010 San Diego County Fair with her Abstract shot in Chicago\'s Millenium Park.

 
 
 

Robert McClanahanI do a lot of landscapes. However; regardless of the subject I want to expand my skills and capture more of what Feininger called the intangible. in other words - more emotional impact.

 
 
 

Kathy NashKathy enjoys nature and travel photography and is always in pursuit of a forgotten barn or dramatic light in her native Minnesota or in Montana where she spends several months each year. Her favorite subjects in San Diego are the varying moods and colors of the ocean and lagoons.

 
 
 

Dan NougierFor travel images, I try to bring home intimate pieces rather than the whole city. It is always a challenge trying to distill a large chaotic scene into the simplest elements that still convey all the emotions of the grander area. Most of my older images are 35mm slides, many of which went on to become Polaroid transfers and lifts. I still enjoy dusting off my Holga and pin hole cameras. However, my current workhorse is a Canon 5D.

 
 
 

Martin OretskyCombining photography and travel is one of my hobbies. My most recent trip was to Tasmania, Australia.

 
 
 

James David PhenicieJames is a Carlsbad-based wedding and portraiture photographer. Photography has afforded him the ability to communicate with those with whom he has come in contact, to share a common interest in the beauty of life, taking the instant to capture a snapshot of a moment in time of what he\\\'s seen, felt and revered.

Garrie Lynn RhodesGarrie started taking pictures when she was seven, and started developing her own photos when she was nine. In the past year, she converted almost entirely to digital photography. She loves the challenge of looking at the world through the camera lens. This forces her to see the shapes, colors and patterns in everything she observes.

 
 
 

Wayne RichardVision is a gift that Wayne Richard never takes for granted.

Welcome to Wayne\\\'s website where you are warmly invited to come in, look around, and enjoy some of those visions!

 
 
 

Michael Seewald\\\"Seewald\\\'s images communicate in a quiet, lyrical way. Speaking to the photographer, one feels that this is an individual so in love with his art, so in love with the world, that he\\\'ll work for as long as he\\\'s able to see, as long as his legs and arms will carry him\\\".

Sanford ShermanI took a course at UCSD in photography and aesthetics. One of the lectures included a study of Western concepts of beauty originating from the art of the Greeks and the Romans. Then my wife, Ann Force, and I were in the museums and Roman Villas of Italy. We were overwhelmed by the volume and beauty of the ancient art. Now it was just a matter of holding the camera steady because no flash or tripods are allowed.
