Three friends hiking along the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.  Ideally this image should include a fourth figure - me - but, as we know, the mere act of holding a camera demands we make a conscious switch from participant to photographer.  As soon as I begin framing a shot I have to, by necessity, be a few steps removed.

​

Still, that's not a bad fence to straddle.

​

My career in education (as a high school television/film instructor) came with a great perk: summer vacations.  I filled my June-through-August  itineraries with road trips, mountain climbs and backpacking treks.  My cameras of choice are a FujiFilm x100f and my ever-handy iPhone.  These instruments do many things well, but capturing the vast grandeur of the world is not one of them, at least not to my satisfaction.  Although I am drawn to the fire of photography, my pictures only hint at the marvels of this great planet.  

 

Nevertheless, as you peruse these pages I hope you find images - be they of landscapes, people, objects or abstractions -  that stir your senses in a satisfying way.

​

Best, Mark Ferguson
