EDITORIAL NOTE
First and foremost, photography is a commem-oration of life. Our planet - everything about her and everything that lives because of her as well as the universe around her – provides the
subjects studied in photographs. Whether it’s a selfie or a work of fine art – photography pursues life. Today, we are witnessing an unparalleled explo-sion of photography. Images are being captured and shared across the globe, 24/7, to the point that one would be hard pressed to find a spot anywhere on the planet that has not been photographed many times over and reduced to megapixels. Photographs are so ubiquitous that many of us may now see more photo-graphs in a day or a week than our parents saw in their entire lifetimes. Consequently, our time in history will leave a legacy that is rich with visual stories. Among all the people who take pictures there is a subset of individuals who are also artists and for them photography is their artistic medium. Instead of brushes and paint, they work with cameras and lenses, with f-stops and shutter speeds. They endeavor to do more than snap a picture or record a moment. They strive to give the viewer a rich experience that is both visual and emotional in nature, to evoke what it felt like to be at that particular spot at that distinct mo-ment in time. Each of the photographers in this issue is an artist. Individually, they celebrate life with their own unique vision. Their relationship with their cameras and their environments creates a magical dance of beauty as moments are collected and captured. As you page through this issue of Capture Mania, you will find an intriguing diversity of subject and style. Each photographer brings to their work their own dis-tinctive vision. That vision, formed by life experiences, connects with their skill and tenacity to create works of fine art in photography. Some of these photographs will make you smile – others will dazzle or take your breath away – still oth-ers will tug at your heart strings. All of these works will touch you. They are stories of life.

Capture Mania is a photography magazine that’s been developed not only for photo enthusiasts but also for those who have a taste for capturing any modes of beauty, art and creativity. It has been designed mainly for those who want to take a deeper look at the history of photography and
have a modern agenda. It’s not just another addition to the wonderful world of online photography magazines but a complete package where a viewer can find the photography of his own choice, such as landscape, portraiture, macro, prod-uct photography, glamour photography and many more. The team behind this publication has tried to showcase photography on a different level keeping just one agenda in mind - to rest this unique kind of art into its rightful place on the pedestal. Another purpose behind this online publication is to allow the photog-raphers to knock on their creative instincts and share their art and talent with the rest of the world. Nevertheless, it’s an opportunity for reknowned as well as not- so-famous photographers to submit their work and start building a name for themselves.

I am a photographer because with my camera, I can hold time in my hands. A moment – a memory – an emotion – they can all be saved and savored in a photograph. Through the lens, I find the grandeur of nature, the wonders of man, the mystery of shadows and reflections, the simple joys of life and a connection to the infinite.

Roxanne Bouche’ Overton, San Francisco Bay area.
I am a photographer because with my camera, I can hold time in my hands. A moment – a memory – an emotion – they can all be saved and savored in a photograph. Through the lens, I find the grandeur of nature,
the wonders of man, the mystery of shadows and reflections, the simple joys of life and a connection to the infinite. All of these, and more, are mine to hold again whenever I want them. They are also mine to share. This series of photographs was shot in the Sahara. But any desert would tell the same story. It’s the story of wind. We hear and feel the wind but how do we see it? In the desert it whispers and howls. It dances with sand and leaves behind footprints. The desert lets us see the wind!
You will also find information on two books I have written to help photog-raphers improve their work. They are currently available in eBook formats with hard print coming soon.
‘Think Before You Shoot’, helps guide traveling photographers who want to bring home exceptional photographs. ‘Critique – A Path To Exceptional Photography’, teaches the method I first learned years ago and continue to use today with every photograph I shoot and see. It is the backbone of my work.

I have been actively engaged in photography for 40+ years, beginning with the purchase of my first 35mm camera in 1974. During the en-suing years I built my own darkroom and taught myself the intrica-
cies of film development and printing, both in color and in black and white. Later, I maintained a secondary career assisting my wife/author by providing the photo illustrations for her numerous magazine articles and books. Most recently, my retirement as a CPA has allowed me to focus my efforts on the pursuit of fine art photography, resulting in the “Stilled Life” portfolio of which a portion is presented here.
My Stilled Life series is represented in Knoxville TN by The DISTRICT GALLERY & Framery and by Chicago by Berlanga Fine Art, Chicago IL.

Understanding light and its perceived and actual effect and color, is a part of my daily world as a gemologist. My past experience as a graphic designer and film photographer in the printing industry and gemology united me with my former passion for fine art photography.
The commercial need for suitable digital images of gemstones soon became of paramount importance because of the internet. I plunged back into the world of photography, where I developed a studio technique that would bring the inherent qualities of a gemstone to light.
The pleasure and joy of capturing photographs once more had its magical effect on me. The day I took the camera out of the studio and on a trip to the Swiss moun-tains, it was inevitable that I would become a landscape photographer.
The lake was screaming to be photographed, early mornings and twilight time. Never in my life have I enjoyed so much, waking up before dawn and being pres-ent to savor the first morning colors and capturing them. The beauty of my privi-leged environment inspires me to mature my photographic scenes involving this large body of water, Lake Léman. It is a love affair.
I’m constantly on a search for elements added by man around the lake. Some are bizarre or useful and some are simply design for a blissful moment for its inhabi-tants. Long exposure, a technique which I’m fond of, reveals a fragment of time, suits my rhythm and soothes my soul. It’s perfect for recording the quick changing weather and the various moods of the lake; it does result, sometimes, into startling images.
Photography is also a means of relief to my everyday’s routine, it is an escape and

it makes me feel a bit like I’m travelling. And, once in a while, I still enjoy going for a trip to the Swiss mountains!
I became a chaser of light, water and land. I bring a passion to my work that goes beyond the ordinary.

Hi, I’m Alex James. And, I’m a self-taught pho-tographer. You could call me a passionate hobbyist, who got hooked on the art form just two years ago - capturing the beauty of
everyday places and things in and around my home in Northern California.
Of course, my immense love for photography has grown to include more traditional subject matter, such as landscapes and street scenes, but my heart still beats faster when I find a hidden spot or an un-usual treasure off the beaten path. These are things that might appear ordinary or are simply too small to stand out. I’m driven to capture these moments in time, these delicacies of light, and feed them to the world! They fill up my soul and brighten up my life - it’s that simple!
Music is another of my passions and I bring it up, because it’s the reason I picked up a camera in the first place. As a child, my Father inspired me with his captivating guitar playing skills - we often engaged in jam sessions, where I would sing my heart out. Today, as a woman of a certain age, I still sing to lift my spirits. But, I needed a creative outlet that would allow me to share my inner voice another way. Photography came to me rather circuitously.

An avid gardener, I loved to share tips on growing plants and flowers. I started sharing pictures of my garden and giving advice in online communities. Soon the moment arrived, when photography became the priority and gardening took a back seat! These days I combine my two passions, music and photography, to express my thoughts and feelings to the fullest extent. Photography is my visual voice. I’m really a storyteller, and the stories I share through my images and my songs come from the heart. My hope is that my photography and stories resonate with others, in some special way.

I’m Bill Hewitt. I’m a photogra-pher and I live in Santa Rosa CA.
My photography crosses many genres. This portfolio is based on a simple concept that produc-es intricate photographs and I’ve called it ‘From Many One’.
I like the idea of an image that takes in the view of the subject from many angles. When I am looking at something, so are oth-ers. The combination of all these different perspectives comes out as this multiple viewing in these photographs.

I am a professional nature photographer from the beautiful Nether-lands. Most of the pictures I make close to my home, with some (own published) photobooks about the nature as a result. I like to photo-
graph ‘normal’ things in a different way or under special conditions. Landscapes and macro are favorite.

I love the how the light pushes the forward tree even closer in the frame – its dark silhouette grabs my eye and
holds it. The soft echoes of the other trees reinforce the strength of the subject. Small details give reality to this ethereal shot.

I am in love for photography in 2006 and bought my first SLR camera. The digital age is crucial for me. I teach self-taught in internet forums, maga-
zines and books to today’s date I still feel that I’m still learning. I like to do and do all kinds of photography but my passion is photographing architecture and especially sports. On weekends work for different agencies covering major sporting events. I also do
workshops and action sports photography.

These images reflect a visual story as portrayed by people who create things. A story found in famous bridges, buildings, and structures of San Francisco. They are an expression of work where I was focused on a premise; a premise where the subject was free from the clutter and distractions of color; a premise of time-less expression; an expression of lines, light, and shadows. This inspiration has taken me to the building blocks in architecture; bricks and mortar, steel and glass, and yes, even nature; elements that are fused together to creatively construct an architect’s dream. From famous icons to banks and office buildings; from hotels and modern medical facilities to a bridge that ev-eryone knows; all have a foundation of purpose, function, design, and form.
Transposing these elements to a photograph has become my art. Capturing how lines, light, and shadows play against the elements of architecture is the essence of this collection.

I am a photographer and author and I live in Germany. My artistic intent is to reflect the world as I see it - to reflect it as visual poetry.
The way I see the world is not what many would expect. From the time I was eight years old, I have worn glasses. When I take them off, everything changes. Clarity becomes blurred, representational images become impressions and form loses both edge and contour and becomes suggestive.
My visual poetry has been influenced by two artistic movements:impressionism and abstract expressionism.
Through my impressionistic and abstract art, I communicate the beauty I see in the world, the moods I sense in other and feel myself, and the meaning I glean from the events of life as I interpret them with head, heart and eye.

Castro Urdiales, a beautifull village in the province of Cantabria. is where I live, but I was born in Santurce in 1973. My relationship with photography began few years ago, it was always something
that caught her attention, and above all, it was part of the art, like paint-ing, which has always attracted me.

A camera for me means a tool that enables how I see and feel the landscape. Each configuration, each filter used, it will influence the look of the final image that I se in my mind. I don´t pretend to be objective, instead, I Take the time to create a picture that makes you see an feel the scene as I lived it.In my opinion a photograph is not limited to show the scene as it is concerned, if not that it is rath-er a fusion of the personal vision of the landscape photographer. personally I think that the most important quality pf a photograph, as in any art, is to evoke an emotional reaction. From the first moment I had a camera in my hands and took my first pictures, I found that I sought. That was that I wanted to do, I found the stories I wanted to tell.
Today I am in continual struggle with the image, sometimes I am unable to put a feeling or thought in them, unable to articulate clearly the heart of the visual story I want to tell you or the atmosphere in which I want to tell and is still looking....

Sandra Nesbit, a Chicago-based fine-art photographer, uses light to “paint” her images. Employing the techniques of compositing and intentional camera
movement (ICM) she creates impressions and lyr-ical expressions in an effort to evoke an emotional response. Sandra puts it this way, “I don’t want to reproduce what my eye sees; I want to reveal what my heart feels about what my eye sees. The people of Earth are unavoidably connected by our shared feelings: hope, fear, joy, anger, love. It is my belief that, by sharing the heart-felt-beauty we experience, we artists enhance the connections that bind us together and help to build bridges of mutual understanding and, maybe one day, peace.”
