Packing is always a pain! Just started packing for next week's fall trip to the Tetons. It will be a short one this year, but it will be very targeted. Stand by for new images!!!

Something a little different from me.

Most of my photography is fairly representational, but occasionally I enjoy experimenting with intentional camera movement and seeing where photography begins to cross into abstraction.

This winter forest is one of those experiments.

Several people whose opinions I value have encouraged me to offer it as a large-format wall piece. I'm still making up my own mind, so I thought I'd ask the people who actually follow my photography.

Would you hang something like this in your home?

Swipe to see how it might look presented at a larger scale. I would like to hear what you think!

From photograph to gallery wall.

A little over a week ago, I shared this water lily as part of the introduction to the newly redesigned Bill Ellis Photography website.

This week, that same photograph took on a very different presence—as a 40 × 30 canvas at Northland Artists' Gallery in Weston, Missouri, where I'm honored to be the Featured Artist for September.

One of the things I enjoy about printing my work is seeing the transformation that takes place when a photograph leaves the computer screen and becomes a finished piece of artwork. At this size, details, textures and subtle changes in color take on an entirely different character.

And yes, hanging a 40 × 30 canvas also reminds you that photography occasionally requires a little manual labor.

If you're in Weston during September, stop by the gallery and see it in person.

I am thrilled to announce that my canvas piece, 'White Water Lily', will be showcased in the Featured Artist space at the Northland Artists' Gallery in Weston for the entire month. This stunning 40"x30"wrapped floating canvas, expertly printed by Bay Photo and presented in a gold solid wood frame, captures the serene beauty of a single white water lily from the Okefenokee Swamp in SE Georgia, highlighting the simplicity and elegance of this delicate flower.

A Fresh Look for Bill Ellis Photography

Over the past several weeks, I've been working on a complete redesign of my photography website—not only giving it a fresh appearance, but also taking a new look at how I present my work.

The new site includes a curated Signature Collection, along with collections featuring wildlife, birds, landscapes, and my growing Small Town America series.

More importantly, I've tried to make the site a place where visitors can slow down, explore the photographs, learn a little about the stories behind them, and easily find information about prints and wall art.

The photograph accompanying this announcement is especially appropriate. Next week it will be installed at Northland Artists' Gallery as part of my Featured Artist display for September. At 30 × 40 inches, it is the largest canvas presentation of my work I've produced to date.

I'd be pleased to have you take a look at the new site and let me know what you think.
