During a tour of Luxembourg I stopped in the American Cemetery.  This cemetery is dedicated to American military dead during World War II.  During a walk-around I found the perfect location to catch the sequential rows of markers.  After some significant work with Lightroom what you see is the arrangement of these markers.

I have taken shots in a number of American military cemeteries around the world and in the United States.  As a veteran, I am dedicated to portraying these markers with the respect they deserve.

I did not start taking photographs until 2013 after retiring from a career as an Educator.  Since then I have travelled the world in pursuit of the perfect shot.  I have found that goal to be impossible, but I keep trying.  I first got hooked on this art during a trip to Arches National Park in Utah.  On my last day there I was lucky to capture one area just as the sun was setting.  For the first time I witnessed the glory of the Golden Hour.

I must say I have no dream subjects.  Most of my work is either travel and architecture related.  I have little comfort in photographing people.  I am now 74 years old and my dream is to continue traveling and shooting for another decade.  I have been to all seven continents and approximately 60 counties; please give me the health to shoot a number more!

I will be on a safari in South Africa soon.  Also in the works is shooting in Denmark and Sweden. (My daughter is married to a Norwegian, so going to those two countries is a good excuse to visit in Oslo.)

I primarily work in color, but sometimes the subject matter lends itself perfectly to black-and-white.  This was the case in my winning shot, “Eternal March.”  The lack of color and the darkness of the material lends the perfect somber tone.
