Freeman Patterson

I am a great admirer of Freeman Patterson’s photographs.  After perusing an older edition of Photography and the Art of Seeing recently, I went out into my golden world and had some fun.

Frost on sedges flattened by snow.

These dead willow sticks made strong caligraphy

  1. Hey Chris:

    I like Patterson too, but you’re no slouch yourself. This blog is great without the pics, but your images always please me. I’m a photography buff too, but you do waaay better than me.

  2. I think your work is really exciting and this fall series is outstanding!
    One of my favorites is (GK fence 2 ). Talk about the ‘art of seeing’.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Have followed your quest since ‘Singing River’. All the best.
