Photographic Art by Iris ten Holder My first aim is to present the beauty around us. While we seldom are given the time to observe and cherish what we see, photography is my excuse to ponder a little longer and record not only the beauty, but also what happens around us, be it construction, a threatening cloud formation, or a frog floating in a pond. My second aim is to make it more than a photograph, and embed some of the excitement, some of the atmosphere, some of the feeling experienced, and convey this to the viewer. In landscapes we find beauty; in cities we find activity; in travel we discover new sights, new cultures, new architecture. In photography I can share this and perhaps bring back memories to those who view them.
