ALAN SIMMONS PHOTOGRAPHY
|
With the technological advancements associated with the launch of the digital era, photography developed into a constant source of fascination and an outlet for expressing how I see the world. Peering through the viewfinder, I am captivated by the endless artistic possibilities that can be created with a visually interesting perspective.
I enjoy landscape and architectural photography and since my retirement in 2004 traveled throughout the United States and abroad to Israel, Turkey, France, Spain, Italy, Greece, Great Britain, Iceland, Jordan (Petra), and Canada (Nova Scotia). As a result of my travels, I’ve been fortunate to experience the sense of excitement as I witnessed mighty waterfalls, towering mountains, beautiful sunsets and famous architectural structures marked by different styles and eras. I am a member of the North Bethesda and Gaithersburg Camera Clubs located in Montgomery County, MD and displayed my images in numerous juried exhibits in affiliation with these organizations. My images also appeared in solo and joint exhibits at local venues including Waverly Street Gallery, VisArts Center of Rockville, Glenview Mansion Art Gallery, Pyramid Atlantic Art Center, Mac Business Solutions, and the Bender JCC of Greater Washington Goldman Art Gallery. In addition, I am a recipient of a Single Image Award in both 2018 and 2017 and a Portfolio Merit Award in 2014 for images published in Black & White Magazine. I continually strive to improve my artistic expression and wish to thank Doug Johnson, Tim Cooper, Tony Sweet, Susan Milestone, and Joseph Rossbach for sharing their insights and enthusiasm for this fulfilling art form. Their guidance and helpful suggestions to improve my personal vision continue to be of enormous benefit. I also wish to thank Joshua Hinzman for his invaluable contributions to the planning and development of this website. His support and useful suggestions for the selection, processing and presentation of these images were profoundly constructive. I am a member of the Photographic Society of America, the North American Nature Photography Association, Nature Photographers Network, and NatureScapes.net. I am a native of Washington, DC and reside in Rockville, Maryland. |
"A great photograph is a full expression of what one feels about what is being photographed in
the deepest sense and is, thereby, a true expression of what one feels about life in its entirety."
