According to photographer Ed Kenney he is in the fourth phase of his life journey, now focusing on his life-long passion of photography. Ed's solo photographic exhibition, "Fourth Phase: Early Images" is on display at Morso May 27 - June 20, 2011.
Ed converted his childhood infatuation to a passion since retiring from a long successful career in the biotechnology industry. Owls Head, along Maine's Central Coast, is Ed's home with his wife Ruth, a couple of cats and the occasional fox family living under the porch. His work is predominantly nature photography - mostly color and mostly landscape.
The ability to travel to places that are considered "away" from Maine - such as Yellowstone, the Southwest, Patagonia, the Pacific Northwest - has a significant impact on his photographic output, but his heart is in Maine. Ed is effusive about his home, "Living on the coast of Maine places me in the middle of a region and people that represent an endless supply of subject matter and inspiration. Acadia, Pemaquid, Monhegan Island, and many other spots offer grand landscapes, but along this irregular three thousand mile coast there is a limitless constellation of subtle but exquisite evocations of nature's beauty."
