Artist's Statement

I have always been passionate about the natural world and have a deep connection and respect for the outdoors. The scenes I share reflect my love for nature and our wild places. Whether it is a mountainside of fiery autumn color, or a soft coating of freshly fallen snow, the light that falls on the Earth’s landscape is constantly changing, making each and every moment uniq

ue. Some may consider me "self taught" in the art of photography, but I feel I have had many great teachers. Spending complete days immersed in the wilderness, from the first touch of sunlight at dawn, through the intensity of midday, the golden hours of afternoon, and finally the vibrant hues of sunset, have taught me much about tone, color and light. Exploring a variety of landscapes in New England as well as the western United States has given me an understanding of texture and form. Studying the works of masters such as Ansel Adams and Galen Rowell have inspired me to convey deep emotion with composition and design. Nature is full of contradictions: patterns and chaos, light and shadows, a rainbow on a stormy day. Each photograph has its own tale to tell and mysteries to be discovered. Sometimes the most subtle and unexpected details can be the most interesting. I like to think of myself as a storyteller, with my camera and lenses as the tools I use to communicate, striving to evoke a sense of wonder and an appreciation of natural beauty. Creative & Printing Process

Most of my images are created using vintage 35mm cameras and lenses. I prefer working with professional slide film, primarily Fuji Velvia, because of its vivid color capabilities and finer grain, and I find that using film allows me to be more methodical in my scene composition and use of natural light. I enjoy the suspense that film provides, rather than the instant gratification often achieved with the digital process. I use polarizing and neutral density filters, so that only the true colors of the scene are captured. My slides are developed by a professional lab and then scanned in my home studio using a professional film scanner. Using color correcting software, I carefully match the scan and prints to the original transparency. Printing is done on Epson Pro wide format archival inkjet (giclée) printers. My framing process consists of dry mounting the prints to acid free foam core, hand cutting mats and selecting from a variety of frame styles to compliment the images, ensuring you a piece of artwork that will be enjoyed by generations.

Today is "Earth Day". It is a day to bring awareness into our lives about how the things we do can affect our environment. The goal however, is to celebrate Earth Day, not just today, but every day. Not one of us can fix the problems we face alone. Together, by making better choices each day, we can make a world of difference.

Whether it is what you buy, where it was made or grown, or if you really need it in the first place. Re-use things. Use less. Elect officials to government who understand the global issues, and will work urgently to make changes that are long overdue.

Please join me in my continuous effort to make good choices in what we do each day, and remember that our future, our children's futures, on every continent around the world, depend on what we decide and the actions we take, today, and every day. Let's take care of each other.

Peace,
Corey

With all of the large photos I have been framing lately that are headed for new homes, I think there could be some useful information in here!

My last outdoor show of the season never fails to disappoint, and like clockwork, nature always reminds us why it is the last. It is almost always chilly and fall-like, and on weekends like this, a bit snowy! Yes, this is the top of my show tent at 9 am this morning.❄️

It was great to see some of your smiling faces at the White Mountain Arts Festival in Jackson, NH over the weekend. I have lost track of how long I have been at this show... 8 or 9 years now, I think. The great atmosphere, and seeing so many old friends, customers and fellow artisans make it extra special, and my display there reflects my love for this show. The setting just can't be beat, with the geese honking in the pond, the Wildcat River just a few steps away for a quick dip to cool off, and great music filling the air. Jackson is where I first began selling my work a decade ago, at the Jackson Farmers Market. It is a pleasure and a privilege to keep this great little town in my roots.

Happy Independence Day to all of you! If you are in North Conway for the parade, fireworks, or Conway's 250th celebration (or any other reason), stop by the Gibson Center for Senior Services, Inc.

Thanks for not stopping!!
A NHDOT Bridge Maintenance crew will start repair work next week on the S**o River Covered Bridge that was struck by a hit and run truck driver. The oversize load took out 15 "knee braces" that need to be replaced on the 125 year old bridge. The bridge will be closed to traffic during daytime hours for 10 days. http://www.nh.gov/dot/media/nr2015/nr-2015-04-20-saco-bridge-repair.htm

As many of you turn pages of calendars to March, if you happen to have my edition of the "White Mountains, New Hampshire" calendar, this is the scene you will be opening. I captured this one back in 2008, in the forest along the Kancamagus Highway. It is a feeling of deep winter, with many layers of deep snow. March is a transition month, and the snows of the mountains will remain for some time yet. There is the hope of spring in the air however, as the days get longer, and the sun just a bit warmer, slowly doing its best to melt the snow to fill the ponds and rivers, and awaken the spring wildflowers. While it is still bitterly cold, and snow storms continue, the frozen birches wait, the beech leaves still cling to the branches, slowly fading and dropping one by one, promising new green growth, even if it is still many weeks away. The birds are getting restless, as they are beginning there plans for warmer days. My morning walk with Scruffy today was filled with the cheerful notes of their songs. Welcome March!
