  1. Fence composition is amazing! Takes a lot of experience to see and wait for that.🙏

    1. Hi Ray. Great to hear from you. I guess it takes a rancher to appreciate fences!!You no doubt have put up hundreds of miles of fences, but did you think of composition as you went along??? Hope to see you one day soon.

  5. Hi Chris. Your descriptions of where the inspiration comes from and your thinking process are very effective teaching tools. Plus, you images are just a joy to look at. I’ve got new ideas and I want to run out in the fresh snow with my camera – in Tuscany no less!

    1. Snow in Tuscany ! Not as much as here I bet! Have fun Pat…enjoy your adventures. I’d love to see your images one day…but I do see a few on Facebook. Chris

    Thank you for sharing your gift with your many followers, Chris. I’m inspired by the beauty and artistry in every newsletter. The profoundly simple fence-posts-in-snow image is glorious, as if the particular cant of each post had been ideally designed for the shot. Love your vision.

        Hi Chris. Michael and I are doing wonderfully well. We moved up to Cobble Hill village in 2016 and opened a pottery studio for Michael combined with a shop called Two Hoots Gift Gallery. If you and Rita are in the neighbourhood on your next Vancouver Island visit, we would love to see you both. Best, Anita

    Hi Chris, I remember Fred and his encouragement to look for line and shape. My heart reaches out to him. I love the two fence image captured with patience and trust that the sun’s rays would light up your composition and your heart. The forest images speak to me in waves of energy radiated by the trees. Thanks for all you do to awaken the creativity in all of us. Be well, Love Adbhuta 💞
