Lynn Sprowl I have a wide range of subjects that I like to photograph but tend to look at the ordinary. Like most photographers, I love nature and the splendid array of opportunities and subjects provided. I find the “abandoned” is a contant source of intrigue and make for interesting photography. I find beauty and mystery in the ordinary. Email the artist at lyndasprowl@aol.com.
Jerry Stogsdill As a fine arts photographer I strive to create an image that engages the viewer on a number of levels. To achieve these results my photographic style runs from true photorealism to extreme abstraction. I want the image I create to hold the viewer’s attention past the normal appreciation time it takes to enjoy a “pretty picture.” For more information, email jws4414@aol.com.
