Photographer
Artist’s Statement
Photography has the ability to change the way people view the world -
by capturing a memorable moment in time, by making the ordinary
look extraordinary, by making the minuscule look enormous and by
exploring details of a world we unseeingly pass in our rush to be
somewhere. I work witht a variety of images both black and white
(B&W) and color with subjects ranging from seascapes to red peppers.
All my images are minimally processed and are AI and Photoshop
free.
Artist’s Bio
Bill Balsam is a retired professor of geology. As a geologist he used
photography to document landscapes, their underlying geology and the
fine details of rocks, especially fossils. The sweeping landscapes of
the southwest, including dunes and deserts, have been favorite subjects
of his photography. After moving to New Hampshire his focus
changed to the more compact, wooded landscapes of New England as
well as New England’s rugged Atlantic coast. Bill can often be found
wandering the back roads on his bike, paddling ponds in his kayak or
exploring old barns and buildings looking for interesting photographic
opportunities.
