Bighorn Canyon Artist in Residence Video – Fall 2016 – Mary Aten

Bighorn Canyon Artist in Residence Video

Below is a video of my favorite photos from my time at Bighorn Canyon as an Artist in Residence in fall 2016.  They include landscapes, ghost towns, Pryor mountain wild mustangs, cowboys, night photography, and Northern Lights.  The video includes scenes from Bighorn Canyon and the Bighorn Mountains.

Purpose of Artist in Residence Program

The general purpose of Artist in Residence programs is for the artist to focus on their work, without the distractions of daily life; to share their knowledge with the public, and spread the word about the beauty of the parks (at least this is my interpretation).  While I was there, I presented a slide show depicting my grandparent’s 1921 camping trip across the country, which included journal entries and photos.  I also held two outdoor workshops on photo composition.

Other Benefits of Artist in Residence Program

In addition to learning the about the area and the history, I hung out out with a great bunch of rangers.  Special thanks to Christy Fleming and the National Park Service.  Also Thank You to Lynn Richardson and Marilyn Feather, former Artist in Residents, who gave me tours of the area along with capturing great photos together.

Added Abstract gallery to website in preparation for Portfolio Show

Monsoon in the Arizona Desert

I’ve added an abstract Landscape gallery to my website.  I’m updating the website with photos that I’ll be showing at the portfolio show coming up on May 1 at Washtenaw Community College at the Morris Lawrence Building from 5:00 to 7:00pm.  I’m pretty excited about the abstract photos, because generally these are Raw images taken in low light.  It is really fun to see what comes out of these photos that are pretty gray in color to begin with.  I hope that you like the Abstract Landscape gallery.  If you can make it to the portfolio show, all are welcome.  Here’s a link to the gallery.  http://www.atenphoto.com/gallery/abstract-landscape/
