“The camera interprets life, explains it, dramatizes it, abstracts it – without it, we would be partially blind to what is happening in and to our world.” Phil Douglis
For those or you have not heard of Phil Douglis, I would like to introduce him to you. I first came across his images on pbase several years ago. He has setup his account on pbase as a “cyberbook” on travel photography and travel photojournalism. There is a nice interview of Phil by Alister Benn at Available Light Images here. I suggest you go ahead and check out Phils site. He has some good images to enjoy.
Back in 2006, Mike and I took a three day motorcycle trip from Fort Collins down to the Four Corners area and back up, taking only mountain roads and camping wherever we could. I like this image as it depicts Mike enjoying “what is happening in and to our world” while we watch the sunset at our campsite near Turquoise Lake in Leadville, Colorado.
