Michael is a Western Canadian photographer delving into expressive views of scenic Western Canada - mountain to prairie as well as fine art. He has a varied and interesting life experience background that has affected his photographic art perspective of cynic and optimist.

He is part of LT Plus with his artist partner and fully admits that when it comes to paint, she is what he will never be.. He does have a deep interest in blurring the line between photography and paint art knowing the photographer defines their limits by virtues of the original picture....maybe.

Tone and Image

 by michael-craige

Tone and shape create an image. The separation is not always clear but we create the visual links inside our mind.

Forest Fire & Sunset

 by michael-craige

Forest fires affect many life aspects. One of the more positive ones can be incredible sunsets where cloud and smoke combine to form fleeting visual panoramas. Made for blurring the lines between photography and painting.

Nakusp Footbridge

 by michael-craige

A winding road into the mountains leads to a hot springs. There are a couple of cabins and limited campsite, all near a fast flowing river. the footbridge over the river canyon leads to walking/hiking trails. This is not a park area but enters into wild narrow mountain valleys.

Spahats falls

 by michael-craige

One of the most interesting falls to experience. Very shear cliffs and a sharp drop to the valley below. It is worth every pixel.

Fireline

Fire spinning and late night make for an interesting picture. A little extra work it blends well into a picture.

Bodyscape & Moon

 by michael-craige

Bodyscaping is interesting black & white photography. Moonlight seemed a natural to higher contrast views.

Fashion Rules

Much of fashion is appearance and it appears we view the results without the creative process on display.

Morning SeaLight

 by michael-craige

Before the moment of sunrise with some light cloud, the sea takes on a vague kind of light. Changing this to a photo painting looked interesting since it is the picture in our mind that we remember.
