Approximately 86 pages with 83 monochrome images.For as long as I can remember, and that is quite a long time, I have been fascinated with clouds. I also seem to be in good company as many others seem to be fascinated as well. Here in Arizona we seem to have few, but when we do, they can be quite impressive, often violent, malevolent, and they most certainly command attention.The following material is a photographic study of these clouds, many of which I have chased half-way across the state so deep is my fascination. There is no text, only impression.The author began photography and photo-journalism in early 1963 when he accepted an offer from his local newspaper to write about and photograph sports events at the Arizona high school where he was a junior. After a stint in the service, he had an opportunity to study photography and printing techniques with Bernard Hoffman, a true gentleman and scholar, and one of the earliest staff photographers for Life Magazine. Since that time he has had thousands of photographs and hundreds of articles published by more than 60 national and international periodicals. He was also a contributing editor for one of them for more than ten years. Topics ran the gamut from professional sports, medicine, archeology, and photography to science.After twenty years away from Arizona he returned in 1985 and it has been the base from which all his photographic excursions are launched. Along with many others he has embraced digital photography but can still be seen, from time to time, peering through the ground glass of a large format camera, hoisting a large medium format 6x7, or indeed still using a 35mm film camera.The photographer currently has fine art photography on exhibit at The Center for Fine Arts in Globe, Arizona and is currently represented by more than ten stock photo agencies where he has more than 13,000 photographs available for commercial use.
