Joan Collins is a seasoned photographer with numerous awards and invitational exhibits to her credit. From her artist’s statement: “ My photographs reveal the intoxicating power of Nature. They convey both the intimacy of fern-carpeted forests and the extraordinary grandeur of sprawling seascapes. Smell pungent wood along a forest trail, hear the sea crash against primeval cliffs, and see the universe in a single wavelet.”

Keith Conforti

Artist statement “I use photography to explore neglected and abandoned worlds, allowing me to create stories about the contradiction of beauty and decay. My subjects have taken on new life through decay. They tell stories of past and present—what once was, what remains, and what new life emerges from the ravages of time and neglect. “

Donna Keen

Artist statement:

Since I was a kid growing up in Whitman, I always had a camera in my hand. I photographed everything: sporting events, my animals or any trip my family went on. I used a film camera until 2007 and have been using Nikon D70 and my Iphone ever since. I love taking pictures of places I have visited, architecture, buildings and houses that have been abandoned and my dog and 2 cats.

Caryn Schneider artist statement: As an outdoor photographer, I look to Nature's conditions to dictate the shot. In the blink of an eye, lighting can change mood, position, and composition. I aim to capture the World just as it is in that very moment.
