– Harvey Abernathey; Photographer

The art of seeing in photography is not just about photographing, as I don’t necessarily capture what I see, but what I feel.  It starts with understanding the light of a subject, and then let nature come through in capturing my experiences.

As I move through the process of exploring the landscape or area of interest, I like to clear my mind of other thoughts, sounds and disruptive things.  I enjoy the sensory input from those still surroundings, looking for the moment of when it speaks to me with the emotion of what first captured my attention.  At that juncture, I may take the camera out and further explore the moment, as it relates to my own experiences and history, which is what makes it unique for me.

Each image I present will have a story of the emotion and experience of how I arrived at its presentation.  Feel free to pause and explore your own emotions and interpretations.

For Marin Open Studios 2023, I will be showing my work, along with other artists, at the Marin Society of Artists during the weekends of May 6th & 7th and May 13th & 14th.  MSA is located at 1515 3rd St. San Rafael, CA.

You may also find further work at my main website Night & Day Photos, along with current imagery at my Flickr Sharing Site.
