Artist Biography for A. Stamp
My love of photography started early. I grew up in Longmont, Colorado so could take magnificent mountain pictures, amazing animal pictures and enjoy Rocky Mountain National Park in so many ways. I started taking pictures at the age of 6 with a Polaroid instant camera, it was great fun to have the picture appear instantly. I remember taking a great Polaroid of a pig rolling in the mud. I then graduated to a wonderful 35mm which I used for alot of years with having great fun developing the film to see whether the magical picture I thought I was taking was what appeared on the film. In the the mean time I started travelling and started seeing so many wonderful sights and people. I started blowing pictures up to large sizes like 24x36, which is fun to see what changes in the perspectives as you get to large size pictures. I now have a digital SLR, which has the magic of the Polaroid and the wonder of 35mm to be able to blow pictures up in size. It is great fun with the digital. I was fortunate to have a love of photography from a very young age. It always seems magical like those first instant pictures to capture a great scene or animal and have the beauty move me and those that see the picture. It really is true that a picture is worth a thousand words. I love being able to go different places and capture at different times of the day with different light and moods. I love to sit and take pictures whereever I am. It is a such wonder and beauty and brings such joy whenever and wherever I am able to take pictures. I feel lucky to be able to take pictures of the great beauty that is around and share it with others. I hope that you enjoy these pictures as much as I have taking them.
Have a great day!
