Michael Maloney
"I invite you to see nature through my eyes. To see all the beauty that I see in this wonderful but fragile world we live in. I hope my images draw you in emotionally and move you in some way.
My photographic inspiration comes entirely from a love of nature and art. When creating my art, I rely on intuition and sensitivity and staying in the moment - with eyes and heart wide open to all the possibilities.
I am self-taught in photography, starting back in the days of film and darkrooms to currently using the latest in digital cameras and photo processing.
My background is nearly four decades of photojournalism, mostly with the San Francisco Chronicle. With the fast-paced, always-a-deadline world of news and sports photography behind me, I am now retired and living on 12 peaceful acres in the Sierra foothills, surrounded by nature.
With my images, I hope to encourage you to get out and explore this world we live in with a spirit of curiosity, astonishment, and hope.”
