Howdy Folks,

As I embark on my second decade (11th year) as a full-time self-employed photographer I want to take this opportunity, as always, to Thank You.Todd Salat - Self Portrait

You continually keep me inspired to follow my mission statement:

Be There - Preserve the Moment - Share It!

I just overheard a customer say that my photos were a "play on light." I'd like to emphasize the word play... and light (!)... with my four New Releases and two Retro-Releases.

Cheers!

Todd

New Releases:

Denali Fireweed

Denali Fireweed

The top of the fireweed was in bloom around Reflection Pond indicating that summer was past the midway point but still in full swing. Dragonflies buzzed through the air doing their best to keep the mosquito population in check. Birds flitted about singing their melodious tunes.

form, it usually just is when it’s clear enough to see them.
