I took this photograph last autumn inside the Prairie Creek Campground. I am sharing it today not because it is autumn, but due to the fact that I worked on it this morning.
I often do go back through my work. Sometimes the experience of doing so is akin to the actual act of photographing. I am seeking images from what I all ready sought and found. In these later reviews, I experience the subjects with a new understanding of what it was that I saw, and what it was that I envisioned sharing with the final print.
I believe that this particular image would look very nice on a large canvas.

About Thomas Bethune
THOMAS ALLEN BETHUNE
I have been interested in photography for most of my life. I started taking photographs with a Kodak Brownie Hawkeye camera when I was eight years old. My early subjects were trains and engineered structures as well as landscapes and family portraits. My interests and vision have matured, but the subjects that catch my eye continue to be of the same genre as my earliest visions.
A neighbor man had a darkroom, and he showed me the basics of camera operation and darkroom processing. I took courses in art and photography in high school and college. I worked as an apprentice to a commercial wedding and event photographer, and I was in charge of a recreational dark room while I was in the military. As an adult, I earned a bachelor’s degree in photography from Humboldt State University. My experience with film formats included 35mm, 2 ¼”, and 4”x 5”. I exhibited at galleries near my home in Arcata California, and in Santa Fe New Mexico.
All my current work is digital. I am scanning many of my legacy negatives and slides. I sometimes process and print the scanned negatives. I often post them on my blog. I process all of my prints with archival media.
