I've been intrigued by photography since my youth. As a young boy, old photographs of distant relatives that I'd never met left a strong impression on me. Likewise, pictures of my parents and grandparents when they were young sparked my imagination. So I've been a photography enthusiast since those early days. I bought my first 35mm film camera, a Nikon FG20, and detachable lens around 1987. Now, I shoot with Canon, edit using Photoshop and Lightroom, and am a Mac guy.
Over the years, I've continued to enjoy photography in my free time between raising a family and building a career. I became more serious about photography after retiring from a large consumer goods company where I worked as a research scientist. After retiring from corporate life, I began my quest to share my vision of the world with others more broadly through photography and created this website to help achieve that goal.
A significant source of artistic inspiration comes from my love of nature and the philosophical teachings in the Tao Te Ching (see TAO - SEEING THINGS DIFFERENTLY COLLECTION information section.)
I received formal training at the University of Cincinnati, and Miami University, Oxford, Ohio. In addition, my photographs appeared in The Springfield Museum of Art, The Cincinnati Art Academy, Antioch College's Herndon Gallery, Carl Solway Gallery, and Pop Revolution Gallery.
I live near Cincinnati, Ohio, with my wife, Latiera. We are empty nesters and enjoy spending time with family, friends, and traveling.
I hope you receive as much pleasure from viewing, and hopefully owning my images, as I felt creating them.
Sincerely,
Marcus W. Evans
