Portrait or Personal Image - Karolyn  Seeley

I have no formal photography training, what you see is just a natural ability to see the world through the camera lens. My Dad was a professional photograher involved in aerial reconnaissance. Somehow my eye responds to this latent family gene albeit in a different photo direction from his as he was a purest, more in love with the optics than the photo. I still have a fondness for film but find my digital is so much more fun. I sometimes wonder what my Dad would think of my digital images. Some say you cannot capture the soul without film. This is a thought to ponder as I snap my digital shutter.

I usually crop with my eye but recently have begun experimenting more with both cropping and Photoshop. I am finding manipulating some of my images to be really great fun. Hopefully this will open up a whole new adventure for me.

As my shutter snaps, my hope is to turn a single moment into a small piece of art. I love to travel for images much like we read for images. Both convey a question to the observer or reader. Sun glinting on a small child's face, a tile roof top, a sailboat at anchor, a gate or pathway winding into a smoky aura of light, each leading our minds to wonder who, where and why.

Living in the Pacific Northwest, beauty abounds. Most photos on this site will be Northwest and marine scenes that surround every corner of my daily life. But it is also sprinkled with travel, architecture, wildlife, gardens, my favorite people or strangers who captured my attention along the way.

My personal goal is my own artistic satisfaction and my quest to become a better photographer with each shot. Hopefully, YOU, the voyeur, can come along with me on this journey through my lens.

Karolyn Seeley
