<\/p>\n

My “Celebrating 30 Years” project moves on to the year 1995. \u00a0A few days after Labor Day in 1984, I quit my job as Photographer at The Ansel Adams Gallery, making the leap of faith to start my own business William Neill Photography. \u00a0In the process of posting a few images from each year, I am gaining a tremendous perspective on my efforts and successes as my work evolved. \u00a0The excitement has built up each time I have searched my massive Lightroom catalog for the next year’s selection. \u00a0Below, I have posted eleven images from 1995, and as I do so, I wonder if I will ever have such a spectacular year again! \u00a0I was 41, happily married, had been published in four books featuring my work and traveling often to teach workshops. \u00a0I was also working on a second book for the Exploratorium Museum and Chronicle Books called The Color of Nature. \u00a0My wife and I took to extended camping trips to the deserts of Utah, and to the Canadian Rockies and Glacier National Park as you can see in the images below. \u00a0We also traveled to the east coast, shown by two photographs below taken in\u00a0Maine.<\/p>\n

My favorite photograph, and happily my best-selling fine print is the first image shown below: \u00a0Dawn, Lake Louise, Banff National Park, Canada 1995<\/em>. \u00a0Only 15 prints remain in the Limited Edition of 150.<\/p>\n

Enjoy, and please add your comments below. \u00a0All photographs created with a Wista 4×5 field camera, and 4×5 inch transparency film.<\/p>\n

Thanks, \u00a0Bill<\/p>\n
