Photographer Spotlight – Leonard Nimoy
Live Long and Prosper As A Photographer, Film Director Actor, Poet, Singer and Songwriter: Leonard Nimoy at 80
Being a lifelong photographer while at the same time being a lifelong photographer gives me a 40 year perspective of others careers to follow. The first to come to mind is Ansel Adams primarily because I met him and was a fan of his work from such a young age. At that same time I was also a Trekkie. Still am. Best of both worlds? For years I’ve been a fan of Leonard Nimoy not only as one of my favorite actors (Trekkie here), but additionally from one of his other multiple art forms he is so passionate about and engaged in, photography.

Remembering Robert Mapplethorpe – Master of Photography
Photographer Spotlight
We cover photographers from all walks of life on Digital Photography Daily for an important reason. Viewing the work of the masters of the art of photography is how photographers learn and validate their own personal work. Viewing the works of the masters such as Pete Turner, Ansel Adams, Michael Kenna and William Neill should be a regular task for the beginning, enthusiast or professional photographer. In the least, viewing the work of other photographers should provide inspiration. Paying honor to who I consider one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, Robert Mapplethorpe, is my contribution to your sources of inspiration.
Photographer Websites-The New Art Gallery
Do You Have a Photography Website?
I’m a student of photography as well as an instructor. Always have been. I was an early adopter of the Internet, at that time I was in I.T., and the Internet was my business. I always thought the killer-app on the Internet was education, still think I’m right, but in a more narrow view for us photographers, it is a means to publish our galleries for all the world to admire.
Photographic Influences
Who Has Inspired You and Your Photographic Work?
Many photographers were originally turned on to the art by becoming enamored with other photographers work. My guiding principal is similar. I think photographers need to constantly learn from viewing the work of others.
