While many people see the world as an average place, I approach each view from angles not seen by others... be it architecture, nature, people or places. Within this site, you will find my unique vision in a wide variety of arenas.
Additionally I have done creative writing and web production work for a variety of media sources including the likes of IFC, OLN/Versus, Bravo and NASCAR. I am also a published author.
Services I offer (porfolio:http://www.bglewandowski.com):
Architectural Photography Architecture is more than about just a building. It's about design. Capturing the intentions of a work, whether from an interior or exterior view is often more than just taking a snapshot. I'll find the right angles, the right light and the expression for your creativity.
The same amazingly professional work can be applied to your landscape and garden designs as well!
Real Estate Photography The old saying goes on about a picture being worth a thousand words... but how much is it really worth? Often the first images a prospective buyer sees are online or in print. You want those images to show off your property in its best light. As an extension of my architectural photography experience, I can bring those skills to your showing... and help you make the sale.
Editorial Photography / Photojournalism From travel to business to human interest stories, my photos can help you heighten the experience of your written work. I will work directly with you to capture the right images and the right feel for your piece.
Stock Photography Need just a photo? Need the right picture for a presentation or a brochure? My photos are available for your stock photo use. Contact me directly and learn more.
Gallery Show Photography From architectural to photojournalistic to macro, much of my work is ready made for gallery showings. Contact me today for information on showing individual pieces or having me as a featured artist (I clean up nicely!).
"Just About Everything Else" Photography If it's out there, I probably have attempted to photograph it. Have something in mind? Just ask.

I am a nature photographer from Bedford, Massachusetts specializing in birds. I strive to create images that go beyond natural history documentation and become artistic images in their own right. I am motivated by a love of nature, a fascination with wildlife, and the never-ending challenge of finding that perfect combination of good light, cooperative subject, attractive setting, and beautiful background that allows me to create an artistically pleasing image. My training has come from self-study and from seminars and workshops led by several of the top nature photography professionals working today, most notably Arthur Morris, Charles Glatzer, and Chris Dodds. The choice of birds as my primary subject is largely due to inspiration drawn from the writings and photographs of Arthur Morris. I am continually amazed at the diversity and complexity of the avian world and it is the natural grace and beauty of these wonderful creatures that makes my work possible. I currently market my work as fine art prints, note cards, and calendars at art fairs and exhibits throughout New England and at NOA Gifts in Groton, West Concord, and Harvard, Massachusetts. More images and information can be found at http://www.miliciaphoto.com.

Jason Hahn
Nature Photographer Originally from Maryland, Jason grew up near the mountains (and graduated from the University of Maryland - Go Terps!). His family's farm was essentially a wildlife preserve, and throughout the year they had deer, fox, nesting geese, and birds of all types. It is that backdrop which fueled his interest in nature. He has worked in both state parks and zoos, caring for animals and the environment. As a child, he was always interested in art and in school took every art class that was available. After moving to Florida with his wife and son, he was able to return to two things he missed, art and nature. Nature Photography was the perfect meld of the two for him. Jason specializes in capturing unique photographs of the creatures and scenery that make Florida such a special place. His photography has also taken him to some of the most remote and beautiful areas our country has to offer. Through his journeys, he hopes to provide people with a glimpse into these places and to share the natural beauty and incredible creatures there. He also hopes to show the importance of these locations, and the need to protect them. His work can be seen on his website www.HahnNaturePhotography.com. Certified as a Florida Master Naturalist, he uses this knowledge to create award-winning photographs of wildlife and natural scenery in Florida and abroad. He has been widely published in books and magazines nationwide such as "Outdoor Photographer" Magazine and "Florida Wildlife" Magazine and has been involved in projects with organizations including the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and South Carolina Waterfowl Association.

I am passionate about the outdoors.
Since I can remember, I?ve been fascinated with nature, wildlife, agriculture and the outdoors. As a teenager on my family?s cattle ranch, I recall being chastised for searching for white-tailed deer when I was supposed to be looking for lost cattle in the hardwood bottomlands that filter the muddy waters of Bois d?Arc Creek.
I went to school in the tiny Northeast Texas town of Dodd City where I was surrounded by a rural culture that is still strong today. As a boy growing up on the rolling hills of the northern Texas blackland prairie region, my family introduced me to fishing, hunting, camping, trapping, and other outdoor pursuits.
Even after graduating college in the mid-1990?s, I passed up chances to live a more suburban and domesticated lifestyle and made my home in the southeastern Texas Panhandle where cattle, deer, and coyotes outnumber people. I still live in Childress although now I share my home with my wife Kristy and our two young children.
My family and I live a lifestyle that keeps rural traditions close. For 16 years, I taught agricultural science at a small high school where I won numerous awards for my teaching including being named Texas Agriscience Teacher of the Year in 2001, 2003, and 2006 ? a feat never achieved by anyone else. For me, it was an honor to help young people find a sense of purpose and see them achieve their goals and, along the way, help them earn thousands in scholarship dollars because of their affiliation with my agricultural science program.
By contrast to the rural ways in which I am so fond, I?ve embraced modern technology and incorporate multiple technologies for image capture and delivery which is at the vanguard of speed and efficiency for my chosen specialization.
Because of my background as a small town guy, I feel I bring a fresh perspective to my photography, writing, and speeches which makes my work unique. Sometimes I think I may have been born at least fifty years too late because I missed out on rural Texas when the most of the activity in a given area was centered on small towns. I hear old timers talk of little towns in the area and how the tiny burghs bustled on Saturdays as people came to town to socialize and shop. Often I muse about a time I can never experience. Then again, I use my digital camera and am reminded that being a small town Texan in today?s technological age, perhaps right now, I?m living in the good ol? days.

I first got started in photography using my mothers old Nikon FE, playing with chemicals in the darkroom with black and white film. From there photography became my passion. It became apparent that using a photograph to tell a story was what I wanted to do. I now work as a the Photo Editor for Seattle University's newspaper, the Spectator, while freelancing for magazine publications and news organizations. Photographs, words, breaking down barriers and discovering different stories drives me towards this area of work. I want to have the type of impact that makes people look critically at the environment around them. I want to do this professionally as a photojournalist in my future.

My intereset in photography started at an early age; I used a Brownie camera to capture birds nests with eggs and baby chicks when I was four. Now, my subjects vary but I am primarily a nature photographer who still loves photographing birds perhaps the most. I have reentered the field after a crippling illness left me unable to use a camera for approximately ten years. I developed an intense interest in macrophotography of florals and nature, then expanded to include landscapes, birds, and some portraiture. My earlier florals were huge very bright photos. My later florals are best described as Monet-like as they appear as oil and water color paintings; pastel hughs dominate. Many of my foliage shots look like vivid pastels. I've experimented with several techniques as you will see in my photographs. My goal is to elicit a sense of captivation in my viewers. I definately have my own style and methods of photography but am striving to continuously learn and expand as a photographer as I believe it is a lifelong learning process. I've worked in many different mediums from oils and acrylics to crewelwork and sculpture. I have a collection of poetry and am a free lance writer focusing mainly on avian topics currently. Several of my pieces have been shown at the Cambridge Association's Kathryn Shultz Gallery and it is in several places online eg caladangallery.com (Flow Exhibition). My written work and pictorials can be found mostly at parrotchronicles.com. There is a collection of foliage photographs currently on display at the Chelsea Public Library that will be there for another few months (Jan 2011). My latest compilation of foliage photos will be here on this site. In January or February I hope to have a collection of avian photos followed by a show of florals. Photographs are available for purchase: contact ImpressionsinArt@comcast.net

My name is Chase Cleckner and I am a photographer from Knoxville, TN. I am a Junior at the University of Tennessee and I am majoring in Advertising. I am absolutely in love with nature and all that it has to offer. I truly love the challenge of being a nature/adventure/story/light photographer. I got my first camera in December of 2010 and have not put my camera down since.With only a little over a year of experience under my belt, it has been an amazing experience to see God sculpt me into the photographer I am today.
I am also a lover for adventure. I am very fortunate to live close to the Smoky Mountains, which has molded me to become a huge fan of hiking and climbing. I desire to take my camera to limits other people wouldn’t dare. I cannot wait to go to many new places and see what God has created for us to enjoy. Its all about the adventure folks. Its time to capture that amazing light we are all obsessed with and also tell the stories behind the photographs. As you can tell I am a story teller at heart. Since I was a little kid I liked story time. Still to this day there is nothing better than sitting down with friends and family to tell them the stories behind my photographs. To share the emotion, frustration, joy, amazement; and exactly what was going on in that exact moment when I clicked the shutter. I hope you join me for and exciting ride and take the chance to be a kid again and enjoy story time like we all did when we were little.

I'm Ben, I'm 15 and I live south of Seattle, Washington. My grandpa started me in photography with a little point & shoot about 3 years ago. He’s always been big on nature photography and now so am I. He’s taught me everything I know and he’s been there from when I shot in “auto” mode to now, where I can freely photograph with all the settings of my camera and am comfortable enough with my camera to use it and my left brain to their full potentials. I enjoy photographing anything from close up, macros, to capturing the big picture. I’ve used a Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1, Canon G9 and currently use the Canon EOS Rebel T2i for its portability, straightforward use, and Canon lenses, but have experience with a 5D Mark II and the Canon EOS 7D. I hope to continue photographing for as long as I live, it has taught me a lot that I feel will carry over to when I grow up and start a life of my own, until then, it's just me and my camera.

When folks ask me what I shoot, my standard reply is “anything with a pulse.” While that isn’t exactly the truth (technically a landscape doesn’t have one), I do believe that nature and wildlife photography can capture the essence—maybe even the heartbeat—of our surroundings. My goal is to try and find those moments and record them in a way that creates an emotional response in the viewer.
Primarily a self-taught photographer, I started with a Canon AE-1P and rather quickly progressed from film into the digital age. I was drawn into the world of nature and wildlife photography by the bodies of work of some amazing photographers; their art has led me to a greater appreciation of the world around us, an appreciation I hope I’ve shared here.
While my day job puts me somewhere in a dark theatre with my finger on the GO button, I’d rather my finger rest on the trigger of my camera. That’s how I’d prefer to experience, and capture, the pulse of the world.

I was born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts. Where I grew up, my landscapes were buildings and asphalt. For me, wildlife meant pigeons and squirrels. Exotic wildlife was chipmunks and robins. I grew up believing that wildlife and beautiful landscapes were meant for other people. Not for me - and I carried that assumption well into adulthood! Several years ago, I reignited my passion for photography and started doing the ground work to build a portfolio in wildlife and landscapes. Along the way, I found that my childhood assumptions were all wrong all along! Beautiful wildlife and landscape images are with my reach - and yours too. That's my focus at The Amazing Image. I teach small, personal classes so you'll know how to use your camera, whether it's an advanced "point & shoot" or the latest DSLR. And once you know how to use your camera, you're free to concentrate on making great images! I also offer a range of photography tours and workshops for those who want to go to the next level. And my most recent addition is for those with a desire to explore - tours to the *northern* Arctic, where we'll shoot polar bears and anything else we find! Visit my website at http://www.TheAmazingImage.com to learn more I am thrilled to be officially sponsored by Hunt's Photo & Video - a company with a long history of dedication to the New England photographic community!

A Word from Dee Ann The sense of peace and oneness with nature that envelops me when I am photographing is hypnotizing. Mother Nature's richness and enchantment abounds beyond imagination. Visualize the Earth's kaleidoscope of colors as beams of light bring to life one remarkable mosaic after another...This is what our natural world offers as it stimulates our senses through its tapestry of flora and fauna. I hope my passion for capturing the spirit of our magnificent yet fragile land and wildlife kingdom will resonate within you as you journey through my windows of nature. From Dee Ann… Although I may have a plan or a wish as I approach photographing in nature, I always find something of the unexpected. I’ve learned to just be present, and remain open to what nature may offer in each moment. To me, Mother Nature is a kaleidoscope, bringing remarkable mosaics into view one after another, with colors, light, textures, fragrances and sounds … a sensual treat of fauna, flora, land, sea and sky … the tapestry of our natural world. I'm hypnotized by the sense of peace and unity that embraces me when I am photographing in nature. In this place of oneness, I feel enchantment and richness beyond imagination. As a nature photographer, I feel gratified to offer “Windows of Nature” images that enhance awareness of conservation, enrich the lives of others, and speak to the power of stewardship for a more meaningful tomorrow.
Biography Dee Ann Pederson is a nature and wildlife photographer who shares her passion for nature through her images and leading photographic journeys across the globe. Her awareness and respect for nature began during family vacations to visit our national parks and natural wonders. At the age of seventeen, Dee Ann began her love for photography while working as a photographer’s assistant. Her abundant energy and “wanderlust” have led her around the world in search of nature’s splendor. She is as at home in the frigid Arctic as she is in the heat of the Serengeti; nature offers her gifts independent of climate or location. Dee Ann’s images are sold as framed, limited-edition fine art prints through private/gallery shows and the Windows of Nature web store. They have been licensed for use on clothing and sold for editorial and commercial use, including National Geographic Traveler, National Geographic Expeditions, Yale University, Holland American Cruise Line, British Airways, as well as travel books and others. She has published her “Nature’s Inspirations” calendar since 2004 and has also a collection of “Nature’s Inspired” note cards available at her webstore. Over three separate years, she has had images on exhibit in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., in the collection of Nature’s Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International Awards Exhibition. In 2010, she was recognized as one of Nature’s Best Ambassadors. In nature, life finds sustainable balance. Often, however, human activity threatens this balance, and in turn, the sustainability of ecosystems. Only through the effort of communities of support can we restore balance where it’s been compromised. Through sales of her photographs, art cards and calendars, Dee Ann provides financial support to the following organizations/communities, each committed to protecting nature’s delicate balance: Conservation International, The Cougar Fund, East Africa Wild Life Society (Kenya), The David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust (Kenya), Jane Goodall Institute, the Houston Zoo, The Nature Conservancy, National Audubon Society, the Sierra Club, National Wildlife Federation, African Wildlife Foundation and Polar Bears International. She is also a member of the North American Nature Photography Association (NANPA) and has served on the NANPA Foundation Board since 2006. She is currently Co-President of the NANPA Foundation.
