| Ed Cooley – Fine Art Photographer
Award winning photographer Ed Cooley makes his home in the rustic Ozark Mountain region of Northwest Arkansas. His inspiring visions of the untainted landscape are breathtaking. Love of nature, natural instinct and relentless pursuit of the perfect shot is evident throughout his work. Ed’s fine art landscapes and photographic exhibits have earned critical acclaim with 22 international photography awards in 2011. After years as a software engineer, entrepreneur and family man, Ed returned to his love of nature. He taught himself photography to share the wonderful locations he and his wife, Faith, were visiting. As his technical skills progressed, so did his passion for artistically capturing natural scenery. Over several years Ed spent more and more time exploring beautiful locations locally and around the country. A near fatal accident, alone in the Arkansas wilderness, followed by a harrowing rescue and six months in rehabilitation would be a turning point in Ed’s life. He now travels worldwide photographing nature’s most beautiful and dramatic scenery. |

Got a visit from Travis today; so he is a relative –nice to meet him too.
Also read up on your accident in October. Some photographers run certain risks in measure and chance more than others. For me it’s the streets and the environment I face in Mexico City. I’ve been here for a while now, but very fortunate –you could say blessed– not to have been robbed or mugged at all; not even the threat of it as when I was back home in New York. Back there I was bullied by others into giving up money as a kid, and was almost mugged in New York City while returning from a meeting.
Anyhow, it’s a good thing you made that choice to keep the device with you. I’ve been bothered by the obsession nowadays with gadgets and technology, but I find this was certainly a wise and useful investment you made. Even better: you made it alive and lived to tell about a very unique experience. You certainly were blessed and that’s something technology can’t provide.
Thanks for the comment Luis and I’m glad Travis found your site. Your photography is inspirational. Mexico City is a long ways from New York, must be interesting.
Superbe photos,un grand merci et A+.
