I call my angle on photography “landscapes & cityscapes.” I marvel at the natural beauty that surrounds us but also love the energy and excitement that can be found in big cities, and often small towns, too. I sometimes find the beauty is found in the people who live in those cities and towns. And I try to capture these wonderful scenes I come across as best I can through my lens.
My photos are printed and embedded into a high-quality metal. The dyes are infused directly into specially coated aluminum panels, which create brilliant images that shine with radiant color. The metal prints are lightweight, durable, and ready-to-hang, making for a piece of art that will last and be enjoyed for many years.
-Howard Hammel
The quote below - from Mark Twain - influences my travels and the photos that I take.
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime.”
