Bonnie Bowne's photostream
|
I've been interested in photography since my father introduced it to me as a kid. My first camera was my dad's 50's version Leica. What can I say, no camera that I've used since then seems as good. Since those early days I've become a confirmed digital Nikonian. I mainly photograph nature and wildlife, although I've really gotten into my Holga and Lomo lately - I love the artsy photos that come out of those toy cameras.
I'm interested in photography not only for it's own sake but also as a vehicle for my paintings. I love wondering around with my camera and later seeing if I can get a painting from my photos.

"Bonnie is a kind, caring, and compassionate person. Her love for the world around her is obvious in her photos and paintings. Her work is outstanding and shows what an artistic person she is. She can make an ordinary subject extraordinary. Thanks Bonnie for sharing your wonderful photos with us. Keep up the good work!"

Buck Forester says:
"Bonnie is a true artist, both with the camera and the brush. She is very humble about both. I have seen her photos win more photo contests on a forum I frequent than any other photographer. She finds the right light at the right moment with the right subjects, whether it's a geyser shooting off at sunset, or wildlife posing perfectly, or mind-boggling sunsets over the Grand Tetons. You'd think she was out there as a full-time as a photographer, or extreeeemely lucky, but it's neither. She has a rare knack for being at the right place at the right time and I've been thinking about stalking her on my next photo outing. :^D Bonnie RULES!!!"

"Bonnie, for someone who claims to not be a photographer, you sure do create some incredible images. You make some pretty good paintings too. One day I'm gonna make it out to Colorado and we're getting all the Loons together for a big ol' party! Keep shooting those photos and keep knocking our socks off.
Over and out©,
Bubba Mediocrates"23rd February, 2006

"Bonnie take such beautiful photos of nature I thought she must be a professional, but she claims she isn't. I've sent several of my friends and family members connections to her website so they can enjoy Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons area through her photos."
