Charles T. Low Photography

Since my last blog, I have done:

• some deeply rewarding photographic portraiture, and
• photography for a truly amazing Raks al Sharki dance event.

The proceeds from the dancing went to Victim Services of Leeds & Grenville, so, through the undeniable joy and energy of the dance, ran that element of sorrow.

A critical point, people, is that when I guarantee privacy, then you will receive my best efforts at that, so I do not currently have permission to show any images, from either the most recent portraiture or the dance, and I have posted nothing anywhere. If that changes, you'll be the first to know. I mention them anyway because all of the events meant a lot to me.

(For the dancing, I was invited as a second photographer by the exceptional Bill Milward, and of course I said yes. Thank you Bill!!)

Those events however behind me, having waded through over a thousand raw images, I again have felt more able to exercise my landscape muscles.

With the photograph above, I lost track of the time and thought that I might be about to miss the onset of twilight — my light (although I tend to favour dawn, and this was dusk). Then I saw that I had misread the time, and had arrived on location an hour early. So under full Golden Hour sun, but with scattered rain in the vicinity (and enduring a few splatters where I stood), that scene unfolded before me.

The general photographic principle is: You miss 100% of the shots you don't take. –Wayne Gretzky

I grabbed the following while out on a trail-walk with friends near Almonte. In fact, one of them said "Wow! Look at that cloudburst!", or I might have missed it. (Use all of the resources available to you. –Charles T. Low)

Remember that I have much fine-art photography for sale, and that the one above is currently available, beautifully framed, at the O'Connor Gallery in Gananoque.

Therefore:

• I would love to do photographic portraiture for you (currently free).
• Buy an art-print. (Forgot Mother's Day? [It's today!])
• Ask Bill to photograph your event. Perhaps I'll get invited again as a second!
• I have another exciting project underway, too soon to say any thing about it, but stay tuned!

You may wish to look through my larger portfolio. Almost everything is for sale. I favour large wall art, and also deal in books and other small items: prints, notecards, and postcards.
