About exhibition:

This collection of images captures the spirit of exploration, inviting photographers to share the emotions, stories, and moments that have shaped their journeys. Whether venturing to far-off destinations or discovering the hidden gems within their own communities, each photograph reflects the unique perspectives that arise from immersing ourselves in new environments and cultures. As we wind down the year, we celebrate the adventures that define us and invite you to relive the essence of travel through this inspiring visual experience.

I was blessed to have two images selected for this online exhibition, Beach Life and Watercolor Tree.

Beach Life- digital infrared photography

Life is like an Ocean or in this case a Great Lake; sometimes it can be calm, rough waves, gorgeous blue waters, or jet black with white caps but at the end of the day it is always beautiful.   Simple views like this help me recharge my soul, releasing the creativity like endorphins after a workout so I can share my visual art to the world.

Watercolor Tree- I phone fine art photography

Steamy Monday morning here in Cabin Country Minnesota.  At first glance, this looks dreary, but find the peace this dew-covered window gives.  Mother Nature grabs my attention again and gives me something to see that I haven’t paid attention to in the past.  I give thanks for simple blessings like this image, I find beauty in the storm; I find my inner peace.

Sometimes the path in life is not clearly defined.  The only thing you can do is breathe deeply, put your faith in the universe, and take the first step.  Life’s road will have curves, enjoy them as they will bring you to wonderful places if you surrender.  Road trips allow my mind to wander and absorb what Mother Nature shows me.  I especially love watching the landscape change from mountains to desert; from city to Rolling country farms; brightly colored flowers to drab gray foggy scenes.  All of these are gifts from her, so give thanks.  Get out in nature and recharge your soul!

Rock Harbor- Providencetown

Published

Today’s stop Rock Harbor and Provincetown, also I need to include late yesterday afternoon too I spent time at these two locations.  I will say this morning in Provincetown gave me the best images and met so many kind people, not just other tourists but kind store owners.  Coming from Minnesota, we don’t experience high and low tides like you all on the coast.  I love how the landscape changes due to the tides.  Today is my last day on the Cape and tomorrow I head inland for the rest of my trip.  I feel blessed that I get to have these great opportunities for travel (with CheeBah) and capture these awesome images.  Thank you to all my followers and I love reading your comments- thank you to non-followers who like my work as I post on Social Media.  If interested in collaborating with me, please DM me or email me at nmcguirestudio@gmail.com.  I’ve already received requests and love to work with other artists.  #Thursdayvibes #newengland #massachusetts #capecod #provincetown #fineartphotography #bnw_photography

Patiently Waiting comes from two souls that found each other in human form; spending their days together as one.  Until one day she passes on separating them into two.  She lays patiently waiting for her true love to join her again.

My soul was itching to get out and wonder; but instead of looking at the natural landscape, a nudge from the universe to photograph industrial landscapes.  I wanted to bring attention to human consumption and waste of our natural resources.  What is man trying to do here?  Create a mountain of trash for the gods?  Or is it paying respect to Mother Nature trying to recycle what was taken from her?  What do you see?

Photozaic statement:

How can I construct an image that moves beyond the surface? Photozaics, of course!

My award-winning Photozaics are inspired where Van Gogh’s textures meet Ansel Adam’s simplicity near the intersection of Bob Ross’ healing vibes. This technique is a labor-intensive multi-step process and starts out with my journey into nature; recording the landscapes that spark my eye may it be rolling hills or a babbling brook.  After modifying the composition, I take the print and head to the stained-glass shop to find matching colors.  I cut the glass by hand taking smaller shards, and placing them in a rock tumbler to remove sharp edges while larger pieces are sanded by hand and assembled the frame.  Grouting finishes the artwork allowing the detail of each cut glass shape adding the texture to my art.

Photozaic below is sized 20x17x1- All are unique works of art that are a must-see and feel!

Wishes or Weeds? Matted in black with simple satin black metal frame 16x20x1

This image reminds me of my childhood and every time I saw a Dandelion, I would pick it and make a wish.  So, in this image, I see wishes and choose to hold on to my innocent belief that they are not weeds but wishes delivered to the Universe via a simple breeze.  Next time you see a Dandelion, stop, pick it, and make your wish! Only true believers will see their wishes materialize!  Today I wish for peace and equality for all.

My image selected is Refugee Trees- Story unedited

The Trees are walking away from the forest they’ve only known, fleeing invasive species that are killing them. Like refugees wandering into the unknown seeking safe grounds to flourish.   I dedicate this picture to all the refugees worldwide who have endured this journey’s pain.  I’ve donated money to humanitarian aides but still feel helpless as I watch this war unfold on Tv in my safe home.  I will pay higher gas prices and bite my tongue as this is a small price for what Putin is doing to Ukraine and the world.    I will cut back on other areas, like dining out, and buying unnecessary “stuff” and put that money towards Humanitarian Aid to help the people of Ukraine.   I write that because I saw a Ukrainian woman on the news say to the world, “appreciate the little things in life like seeing blue skies and breathing fresh air.”  I do appreciate the little things in life and do this also in honor of her request, as I have a roof over my head and food in my fridge and for that I’m grateful. My advice to you, the next time you bitch about inflation for the cost of food and gas think of Ukraine and what they are going through, and SHUT UP!
