Charlie
Brown is relatively new to professional photography. He is
a graduate of Colorado School of Mines, Golden, Colorado,
with a degree in petroleum engineering. Being successful in
his chosen field, he was able to retire at 52 years of age
after 30 years as an engineer and executive. Charlie purchased
his first good camera in 1999, with the primary goal of reacquainting
himself with the natural world around him. Charlie began his
adventure by visiting the small lake next-door taking photos
of sunrises and sunsets, animals and macros ... photography
became a passion. Almost immediately he decided that to expand
his knowledge and capabilities he would enter photo contests.
After winning many Photos-Of-The-Day Awards and contest prizes,
it was obvious that others enjoyed his work as well. In 2002
he decided to take a path toward becoming a professional photographer
mainly because of his need to share his work with others.
Since that time he has had photos published in several publications
(Breckenridge Magazine, Digital Camera World, etc.) In addition
he has been a participant in several venues including local
art galleries and juried shows. In fact his first gallery
presentation was a one-man show at the exclusive Timberline
Gallery in Evergreen, Colorado in August of 2004.
Landscape
and nature photography, particularly panoramic art photography,
has become Charlie’s major emphasis. Horizontal panoramas
are presented as if you are turning your head to feast your
eyes on a beautiful vista, while the vertical panoramas invite
you to walk right in and share the experience. Charlie uses
only the best professional photographic equipment, papers
and materials along with the state-of-the-arts digital technology
to “stitch” many single photos together to make extremely
pleasing art presentations. In addition his unique long-lived
contemporary presentations fit in nearly any home or business
environment.
