"You miss one hundred percent of the shots you don't take."

- Wayne Gretzky

 

My name is Ber, pronounced "bear" (like the animal). I am a non-commercial photographer.

 

I started photography in the late 90s on a Pentax K1000, a manual film SLR.

 

Most of my shots are compositional instead of "memory shots."

 

I use a Sony a7 II, a Sony a6600, a Sony RX10 IV, a Sony RX100 VII, a Nikon P1000, a Fujifilm X-E4, a Fujifilm X-H2, a Kodak FZ55, a Leica Sofort 2, Adobe Lightroom (for general editing), and Adobe Photoshop Elements* (for remixes, juxtapositions, and montages).

 

I also use Corel PaintShop Pro for remixes.

 

For video, I use a Sony AX100 Handycam and Apple iMovie.

 

Some of my favorite places to take pictures are here in Albuquerque, including downtown, the BioPark botanical gardens, and 2nd Street.

 

*As of May 18, 2024, I am using the full version of Adobe Photoshop. I also use it for general editing.

I love the creative versatility of your photography. Its range and playfulness and your different way of seeing things are teaching me to see as if I had new eyes. I now see possibility and imagination in color, line and shape that I had never imagined before. Thank you! Addendum: Wonderful pictures! I’ll at least be able to say I was there when you took your pictures, but will also say I was surprised and delighted by each and every one. As you have said, you are not recording ‘reality’ in the sense that you are documenting anything. The ‘reality’ you reveal has been created through your art and talent and is truly your own. This is, of course, the case with everyone, but most don’t stop to think that what they see is filtered through the Lens of their eyes and the neurological lightroom that, as a result of their experience, makes every perception personal and original. Your photography reveals how ‘reality’ is constructed. You may not think about your photography in this way, but it is how I ‘see’ it.
