Meet the Photographer

Bill Morgenstern

I have recently moved to the the Texas Hill Country near Georgetown, Texas where I continue to photograph nature with a creative and inspired approach. Here, the broad expanse of sky and western landscapes punctuated by details of varying subjects draw me in to explore natural abstractions.

While in the north country I captured the natural beauty of Northwestern Ontario through photography on a daily basis. Be it a spring fiddlehead frond, a jeweled spider web or a fall lake shore ablaze with color, these are some of the subjects that stirred my blood and inspired my creative eye. The play of light, subtlety of color and the intrigue of texture are elements to look for in images both past and present. The spirit of nature presented through abstract impressionism has become an important element of my current photographic images.

I have photographed across Northwestern Ontario and northern Minnesota for over 20 years. Retiring early from a career in education, I pursued nature photography and outdoor writing while living in Fort Frances, Ontario. Articles with photographs have appeared in a variety of magazines and numerous tourism brochures.

A one man photo exhibit, Damsels and Dragons, partially funded by an Ontario Arts Council grant, has been exhibited in galleries in Northwestern Ontario and Northern Minnesota. I have also exhibited in several group photo exhibits, done interpretative work and exhibited with mixed media artists (photography and water colour). My photo images can be found in private collections in Australia, Canada, the United States, Taiwan, and Norway.

I am a member of NANPA, the North American Nature Photographers Association, and a past member of the Outdoor Writers of Canada, and the Outdoor Writers Association of America.
