I make photographs and still make photographs of the natural environment. It's a love because that was part of my life before I was involved in photography.

And What Is A Photo

And what is photo
The photographer can tell you.
And what he told
Is to conform the pose.
And the pose if neglected
Spoiled you and the picture.
And your life is in danger
O Photographer please guide
You are my master.

Ever since the 1860s when photographers travelled the American West and brought photographs of scenic wonders back to the people on the East Coast of America we have had a North American tradition of landscape photography used for the environment.

I never liked dance photography; it's very flat, and dance photography in the studio looks very contrived.

I just yesterday returned from a trip where I photographed a woman with two children whom I photographed first when she was the age of the older of the two children.

To me, that is the essence of me as a photographer. It is those ideas, working with them, formulating them and eventually putting them down on paper, photographing them and then going on to the next step.

Rick Kessler The Photographer

In the north woods lives a deer by a tree,
it looks in the window at Rick Kessler’s feet.
He is sitting on the couch watching t.v.
Then deer walks around to see,
see Rick work on his photos in his office,
he is cropping photos for he is not a novice.
Photos will go on a placemat,
images of wildlife like flowers and plants.
One photo he took of many in a row,
Melodie sits on UniCandle unicorn his flame a glow.
This was in the fall before it began to snow.
Photo is now on a greeting card,
it is the cutest image of Melodie by far

Photography, painting or poetry those are just extensions of me, how I perceive things, they are my way of communicating.

A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed.

My career was 100% different from what I intended to do. I thought I'd photograph nature and landscapes but I wound up photographing the changing of the times.

There is nothing as mysterious as a fact clearly described. I photograph to see what something will look like photographed.

The idea of photographing an Arab man naked and having him simulate homosexual activity, and having an American GI woman in the photographs, is the end of society in their eyes.

Donald Trump's Safe Kept Secret By Suzae Chevalier

Light bulbs flash and celebrity smiles,

all for a photo in "Fashion & Style".

Now at Palm Beach Today,

photographer Sue Chevalier,

snaps photos of Donald & Melania

on the morning of Easter Sunday.

Just around the same time that year,

Melania conceived a gift that was very dear.

Now Sue heard the news and never did brag,

she was not a squealer who makes money on rag mags.
