Nomeca Hartwell Photography

Welcome to my galleries where I hope to share whatever Visual project I am developing. As long as I can remember, I have maintained a love of Light and the beauty that it bestows upon whatever it touches. Composition and Color are mostly supporting actors in many of the scenes that appeal to me.

Covid-19 continued to turn our lives upside down in 2021  and yet I was able to find joy and peace in a  second camping trip to Lassen. This time we visited Butte Lake and took on the challenge of climbing the 'Cinder Cone' . It was well worth it, the spectacular views and volcanic barrenness. In the Fall, I spent a few days  enjoying the beaches of Bandon from the now defunct Bandon Beach motel. We loved seeing the whale spoutings  from our room and had 2 wonderful nights of photographing the Milky Way as the fog drifted in and out.

What a strange year 2020 was, yet still photographically adventurous for me. A friend and I just completed a wonderful 22 day trip that included Amsterdam, Tanzania, and Zanzibar on the 29th of February when our world began to change as the  Covid virus took hold. And yet, I found a way to visit and explore many places closer to home that had long been on my wish list such as nearby Mt. Lassen national Park , a quiet jewel  hidden away in NE California . Later, in September we spent a little time at Oregon's coast and photographed the Milky Way over Whaleshead beach. In December this very shot was chosen by Oregon's Secretary of State to be the cover shot for Oregon's 21-22 Blue Book.

 

I maintain  an active presence on Facebook.
