Thanks for visiting. I have been making images like this for over 30 years. With my recent graduation from the corporate world, I now have time to share a small subset of my image collection with friends around the world. As you can see from the collection here, I enjoy making images of natural things. But occasionally, I will slip in a few human creations. I hope you enjoy my images as much as I enjoyed creating them.

The vast majority of my images are created on transparency film. The colors in my images are as natural as the film, paper, and lighting conditions allow. Occasionally, I will use a polarizing filter to aid in the creation of an image. I have not yet gone digital except to scan a few images to aid in sharing on this site and my own recently created web site hometown.aol.com/CMZelms. At this time all prints for sale are created from the original transparency or negative. Please contact me at my web site or via CMZelms@aol.com to discuss photography or to purchase.
