From Where I Stand
When I started taking my photography more seriously, I used a very simple concept: take a bunch of photos from a single vantage point. Move up, down, and around, but limit your ‘centre’ to a single point. This technique forced me to become more inventive, it forced me to carefully consider things that may not grab my attention right away. So rather than photographing a single subject I began to look for other elements that may not be obvious. I also forced myself to make photos in fairly mundane surroundings, looking for interesting elements.
This became the foundation to much of my photography. I spend a lot of time carefully assessing my surroundings and looking for the best compositions.
The ‘tag’, From Where I Stand has also made me realize that through all the photos I have made in the past several years, I have borne witness to some pretty amazing things, and I look forward to sharing more of them here, along with the stories of their creation.

“It surprises me that there are still places, not too far away, that offer quiet solitude” – Ed Lehming I got a bit introspective on this one. You see, it’s summer here in “The County,” which means that thousands of people pour into the area to enjoy its world-renowned beaches, wineries, breweries, and…
“There are times, when looking at my world, that I see a painting just waiting to be created. Then I realize that nature already has.” – Ed Lehming This is a return to a previously shared image, though presented here as a portrait composition. I think I prefer the portrait version because it…
