Who are you and what do you do?
I am Doug Parks and I am a fine art landscape photographer in Northern California.
Why do you do what you do?
I have always had a love of photography. I came into the business as a camera repair person. I also worked in photography retail and in a photo lab.
What themes do you pursue?
I love landscapes of all types. I rarely depart from landscapes but can do so from time to time. But most of my work is with natural light and not studio lighting.
Describe a real life situation that inspired you.
In 1964 I travelled to Yellowstone with my family on a camping vacation. I was awestruck by the park and vowed to return in later years.
What jobs have you done other than being an artist?
I worked for a number of years in IT as a network engineer for a large corporation and a Systems Engineer for a networking equipment manufacturer.
What are your hobbies?
I play golf from time to time and just enjoy hiking with or without my camera.
