Bio/Resume for
Ralph Tyree
A few years ago, I began taking pictures of landscapes, sunrises and sunsets. Photography gave a bit of tranquility to the hectic travel schedule and speaking engagements that dominated my occupation during that time.
"One freezes time in a photograph. The camera lens captures a moment, which can never be duplicated. My mission is to share some of these unique instances. I am hopeful that my work will spark nostalgic memories and an appreciation for the spectacular beauty that surrounds us".
I often photograph popular areas, ever striving to bring a fresh perspective to the composition. Lighting alone can transform a picture.
