I
was born and raised just North of Yakima, Washington. All 13 years
of schooling was in the Naches Valley School District.
I joined
the Air Force right out of high school and my first major purchase
was a new 35mm camera. I've been taking pictures ever since. The
Air Force has allowed me to live and travel all over the world.
My pictures reflect that.
Once I received
my scuba certification a whole new aspect of my art was opened
up to me. Thanks to digital photography, I've been able to afford
the equipment.
Many of my
photos can stand on their own but I found that some just didn't
quite cut it. But when I transformed them into watercolors
and mosaics they took on a whole new life.
I'm just starting
out on all of this so I have a long way to go. My new scanner
allows me to add my old 35mm stuff from The States and Europe.
I hope you
enjoy my art as much as I did creating it. Some are many years
in the making.
You can see
many more photos (and find out who that woman is in the picture)

Thanks,
Gary R. Hughes
