Seascape Study #11, by Paul Edmondson

Paul Edmondson is an award winning contemporary photographer known for his minimalist landscapes of the American West, often in places where humans and the natural environment intersect. Born and raised in Washington DC, he studied anthropology at Northern Arizona University and worked as a Forest Service archaeologist in Arizona and Southeast Alaska. Paul's photography career began in 1994 while on a 1000 mile solo sea kayak from Alaska's Inside Passage to Seattle. Influences include abstract expressionist painters, his mother and the ordinary.
