Carol Farnham & Alice Britt Photography - Garden and nature photography cards |
Carol Farnham has always felt a strong connection to nature, and she finds that viewing the world through a camera lens intensifies her awareness of her surroundings. Her attention to color and light is a hallmark of her work, whether her subject is a distant vista or a detailed close-up. Alice Britt became interested in photography as a teenager. She particularly enjoys creating images that reflect cultures beyond her own and has many opportunities to capture these images in her world-wide travels. Both Carol and Alice began their love affairs with photography using black and white film and developing their own prints in the darkroom. They now use digital photography exclusively in their work.
