Asterion: An ancient Greek name meaning “Holder of the Light”.
We welcome you to Asterion Photography and hope that you enjoy your visit. These pages include film and digital images taken from 1967 to the present. Here you will find nature, wildlife, landscapes, shore scenes, and city-scape photos. This page presents examples from each category, while the remaining pages focus on images from a single category. We hope you will agree that the images convey the spirit of Asterion, Holder of the Light.
Our approach makes use of prime lenses in most cases. Also, we employ minimal post processing to create the images seen here. Finally we scanned film images at high resolution to capture grain from the originals.
From time to time we will be adding new work to the site. Some upcoming images appear on the contact page.
We encourage you to start a conversation. Please leave your comments or questions here.
Thank you for visiting.
