| STEVE TRAUDT |
|
Raised in Nebraska, Traudt moved to Grand Junction in 1987
where he and wife, Fay Timmerman, operated Quilt Junction and
Gallery 412 for 9 years. He teaches photography at Mesa State
College, conducts photography workshops, is a certified scuba diver
and a registered pharmacist. The Gallery featured visits by such
notables as Galen Rowell and John Fielder. In a dusty attic at the age of 10, Traudt chanced upon some
old darkroom items belonging to his father. He ordered fresh paper
and chemicals from the Monkey Ward catalog and a lifelong
interest was soon born. He's exhibited photographs in 26 states and
12 foreign countries; lectures locally and nationally and especially
enjoys sharing his enthusiasm through teaching. Steve has led photo
trips to such exotic locales as Costa Rica and The Galapagos. His
magazine articles have appeared in various publications including
Nature Photographer magazine. He's a member of The
National Association of Photoshop Professionals and The
Photographic Society of America from which he holds the honor
of Associate. Traudt calls his photographs Synergistic Visions.
He explains synergism as the cooperative interaction of several
elements to yield a superior result. For Traudt, photography is
synergism of such elements as the brain, emotions, vision, film,
lenses and the camera. Since photography is both art and craft,
Traudt views this synergism as a marriage of left-brain and
right-brain activities. "In today's world, we're in such a hurry;
looking only straight ahead. I make photographs which cause the
viewer to pause, even for a moment, and realize all the remarkable
events in our world, awaiting discovery." Interested in a variety of
subjects, his current work explores the form and texture of urban
and natural landscapes. He is also exploring the use of panorama
photography and calls these images, Wide-Scapes. His photographs are
available in signed limited editions. Website:
