By Wenda Pyman (Open Post)

Three landscape photographers will grace the halls of the Contra Costa County Administration Building, 651 Pine Street, Martinez, CA 94553, through March 27, during normal business hours.

Wenda Pyman is a landscape, nature and travel photographer. Her body of work reflects her all-consuming passion to capture nature’s diverse patterns and imagery. For Wenda, it’s about finding harmony and balance between elements of color, lines, textures and shapes that are both pleasing to her eye and that of the viewer.

She has had the privilege of attending a workshop with Ansel Adams and has honed her skills at ASUC and other photography classes. She started her photography business in 1983 and has transitioned from film to digital. She enjoys the challenges and the possibilities of the new digital technology.

Ernest Rodriquez is basically self taught. “it wasn’t until a few years ago that I became more serious about my art form. Since embarking on this journey into the world of photography I have enjoyed capturing a variety subjects.” However, his love lies in landscape photography. He enjoys the challenge of trying to capture not only the image but the feeling of that moment. “By attempting to accomplish this my hope is that these same feelings and emotions will be felt by the people I share my work with.” Visit his website: http://www.ernestrodriguezphotography.com/

Dave Dondero has held a camera for more than forty years. “When I saw my first print emerge in an open tray of D76, I appreciated the power a moment frozen in time could have in helping make sense of the world around me.”

In recent years and with a new toolset with which to work, Dave has tried to craft a visual framework in which others can consider the world we share. “Today, I see color, texture and saturation, and prefer the brute force of hyper-realism over the subtlety of shape and contrast.” More work can be seen at: http://davedonderophotography.
