Carol Dray

My interest in photography was fostered by my father who still maintains a catalogued inventory of 28,000 Kodachrome slides. I come from an artistic family who can paint and draw but I can’t create a scene with my hands. So, I look through the lens of a camera. Mostly, I stick to writing. I retired from a career in local government and spend my time doing things outside…with a camera in hand.

Mac Titmus

My art bridges the world of reality and the realm of imagination. Using the techniques digital art offers today’s photographer I meld classic photography with digital imagery creating a medium I call “Interpretative Photography.”
