Peggy's Cove, Nova Scotia
Fine Art Photography
These galleries provide a view of Carol's and my favorite landscape, nature
and travel photos. Our enthusiasm for photography has been rekindled
and grown to a fulfilling passion over the
last few years.
Our goal is to create fine art prints that evoke the emotion that we
feel when in the presence of beauty. We would further like our prints to
remain evocative one hundred years from now. For us this longevity
is core to the meaning of "fine art" and only occurs the print touches a
universal archetype that within us is both universal and eternal.
Unfortunately, we won't know whether any of our prints achieve this
status because no artist has ever lived long enough. Somehow I know a
few artists from the 19th century Hudson River School of Landscape
Painting are smiling down as their pictures still touch us over a
hundred years later. But, it is always a goal as we look through
the viewfinder and refine each print.
We strive to create each print with the highest level of mastery in the
print making craft using the best of materials and digital print making
technology. The prints are made with archival materials to last
multiple generations. If after browsing through our web portfolio
you are interested in commissioning a print please click on
Fine Art
Prints for more information.
Though our primary goal is the creation of fine art prints, our
website gallery often covers a broader photographic experience.
Only a few select images in each gallery will transition from website "keepers"
to fine art prints. We have found that our friends enjoy a broader
coverage that provides a context for arriving at the one or two
that become part of their art collection. As we revisit the site certain images
have maintained their
emotive impact. These are the ones that have ultimately become
displayed in our home.
Please provide
us your reactions to the pictures by emailing us at
colby@carolandcolby.com. Our
photographs are refined in Adobe Photoshop CS3 and the web galleries are
created in Adobe Lightroom. The web galleries use the Adobe Flash plug-in in your Internet browser. You can either
click on the galleries to the left or below to display them. If you would like to visit our boating and early photography website

"Black and White" -
An Updated Flash Gallery of my Return to Black and White!
The printing technology for black and white has matured in just the
last year to enable photographers to obtain the luminosity of
photographic paper. The deep blacks and smooth graduations of
grays are also now possible. The picture above is a favorite of
mine. We spent the summer photographing Nova Scotia and the North
East. The first prints have been everything I hoped for. Click on the
Black and White Gallery and
see our best from this summer and a few favorites that continue to
please.
