I admit being in love with wildlife photography when it draws me to visiting the warm countries. Tropical regions and savannas are perfect for me. But some photographers have a notion of wildlife which pushes them to the cold waters of some oceans and cold countries. That is how I discovered Alan Douglas (somewhat through chance and serendipity) and his wildlife photographs. But, on his web site<\/a>, I noticed a series (“Beachwood<\/em>“) which looks into floated wood abandoned on the shore by the waves. Alan uses them to create abstract and very personal paintings.<\/p>\n

This series only started last year and it will certainly evolve a lot in the near future. As he says: <\/p>\n

I live on the west coast of Canada North Vancouver Island in Port Hardy, an area where the rain forest meets the sea, I only have to walk along the shoreline to see how nature creates wonderful shapes and textures, colours from the materials washed up on this shoreline. […] These images look so good in print and\u00a0I am very excited about the potential of this project.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

To the question of “What do you consider your worst weakness in photography and how do you try and correct it?”, he answers:<\/p>\n

I think I would have to say that sometimes I get too focused on a particular aim of a photo trip, ie (I am out in the forest and want to make an image of a bear) that I miss other things around me! So I now try to go on a photo hike with an open mind and celebrate what is good in our world!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Which explains that Alan can cover so different subjects.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
