Suzanne's Photo-art

My Photo
Name: Suzanne Comer
Location: Pennsylvania, United States

I began exploring photography as an art form after acquiring a digital camera several years ago, focusing mostly on the beauty of nature. In addition to unmanipulated photographs, I became interested in using elements of my photographs to create new forms of art works. I am fascinated by the concept of combining pieces to create a new and different whole. All of my photo-art pieces are created in Photoshop at the size of 11" x 14" 300 dpi and are then printed on photographic color paper. My photo-art pieces have been featured in many juried art exhibitions and Philadelphia Stories Magazine.

Creating a Web Presence

There are such a limited number of hours in a day! So, how do you accomplish everything on your "to do" list?

My list of things I want to do is always so long. There are so many things I want to accomplish & there, of course, is never enough time to do them all, but I still try!

The past few years, I have devoted my "free" time to shooting digital photographs, creating photo-art images from sections of my photographs, & pursuing avenues for displaying my work. This has mostly entailed entering various competitions & being accepted to juried art shows and publications such as Philadelphia Stories.

However, a designer friend of mine, Michelle, has been bugging me the past few years to have a presence on the web to show my work. So, I set for myself a goal to do just that this month.

The 2006 spring issue of Philadelphia Stories magazine features one of my recent photo-art pieces on the cover (both printed & web magazine), as well as an additional image inside. So, I promised myself I would create a web site to honor the occasion. I decided to create a very simple site, realizing it was more important to create a basic initial site than try to achieve all my goals of what my web site could/should be.

It was also Michelle's idea to connect a blog to my web site. So, to honor all her encouraging suggestions, I decided to add this feature to my basic site.

So, on this March 7th, I am expanding my personal horizons like I once did on March 7th so many years ago! I hope you enjoy my first basic site at http://comersuz.home.comcast.net, as well this new blog. I look forward to hearing from you!
