Color feeds the eyes. Black and white feeds the soul.

What motivates me when taking a picture? I want a picture that evokes an emotion. Simple as that....

Canadian Rockies
Tierra del Fuego
Antartica (no, really)
Rome
Egypt
Iceland

Bachspics says:
"M.4 is highly artistic and a B&W purist (as well as a fly fishing purist). He admires Ansel Adams and many other B&W photogs, which you see reflected in the drama of his shots. His image editing software is his "dry" darkroom. He enjoys editing, cropping, and manipulating the contrast to create mood, drama and interest. He likes to experiment with effects. He shoots his Cannon with a telephoto and gets most of his landscapes while on fishing trips and vacations. He has also made some good shots with a simple point-and-shoot digital. He has a fly fishing blog ( tatteredfly.com/ ) which is very popular and runs a photo contest yearly."

"M.4 is a master of the black and white photograph. He captures the moment - its emotion, its sharpness and its ambiguity too.
A true artist."27th June, 2007
