Larry O. Gay: Artist Biography

From his submission résumé:

Professional Status

"I am a freelance photographer residing in Bessemer, Alabama. My background in nature has enabled me to focus on the intrinsic structures and patterns in the natural world. Combined with a long-existing interest in art and photography, particularly natural scenes mostly unimpacted by human activities, I have set forth to capture natural formations from an aesthetic point of view.

"Recently, I have also applied this focus on the urban setting, with emphasis on capturing common images from different perspectives. I am currently photographing architecture in the surrounding area and hope to show my work at galleries and in publications.

Aspirations

"What drives my pursuit in photography has been the ability to travel, explore, and document things we see daily and present it in a different way. My future goal focuses on combining fine art, nature/architecture photography and nature publications with the premise of furthering our understanding and appreciation of our world.

Education

"I have a double major in Commercial Art and Photography from Bessemer Technical College in Bessemer, AL. (Instructor: Ms Judy Johnson), and quite a bit of reading by other photographers such as Ansel Adams, Galen Rowell, Gordon Parks, Eudora Welty and several others.

About my websites:

"I am currently working on several websites to show some of the beauty that God has given us (see links below). I began formatting  them in August, 2002 after photographing numerous images of flowers. I am still in the learning process of developing the sites. As you will see, they are very basic and what you see is what you get."
