This past July, Molly and I traveled to Spain to walk the Camino de Santiago. We were among an estimated 200,000+ pilgrims who will walk the Way of St. James this year. It was an amazing experience, one that was completely different from any preconceived ideas I had.
One of the many surprises was the foggy overcast mornings that we were treated to each day. The fog made for some interesting photographic opportunities and some compelling images.
On several occasions we saw marker posts with worn out shoes abandoned near them. I really liked the way the pink shoe contrasted with the concrete.
And then I found this abstract scene. Any guesses where this is. I’ll give you a hint, it’s not in Spain.
Matthew Parker's photography is captivated by the challenge of catching
the beauty of creation, undestroyed by humans. Whether in distant
National Parks, urban parks or in his hometown of San Diego, Matt enjoys using the camera lens to
frame the incredible beauty around him. He seeks to capture both the
easily-overlooked beauty of subtle patterns in rocks and water
reflections, as well as the magnificent grandeur of mountain peaks and
grand vistas.
