Hi, thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy my photographs. I'd like to hear from you, so if you have any questions or comments, please click on the E-mail Bart Edson link above.

I've photographed seriously since I was eighteen years old, more than thirty years now, and I've been exploring back country wilderness for more years than that. As an adult, I've travelled around the American West and in the European Alps, and not surprisingly a large portion of my portfolio consists of landscape images from these beautiful mountainous regions. I'm also thrilled to shoot in cosmopolitan cities like San Francisco, Florence, and Paris, as well as in more laid back locales such as Mexico, Hawaii, and the Napa / Sonoma wine country. My portfolio reflects my travels to all these destinations.

My first camera was a Sears brand point-and-shoot. Because I couldn't do anything with it but 'point and shoot', I learned early on to at least create strong compositions in the viewfinder--it was the one artistic factor I could control. This early emphasis that I put on strong image composition continues in my work today.

Also related to strong composition is capturing in my subject what Zen refers to as its 'thusness'--its absolute reality. Ultimately I consider all my photographs, even my wide-open landscapes, to be portraits. If they're 'landscapes', they're also portraits of place, or put another way, they are portraits of the thusness of the forms that make up a place. I'm always looking to capture an interesting portrait, of a place, a thing, and especially a person.
