"The work on display is a compilation of work that covers more than 15 years of dedication. The variety is due to my various interests as well as a summary of the photo trips I have made throughout the years of intense work on my craft.
I enjoy going to the more modern zoos to view animals in the simulation of a natural environment that I probably will never get to see in the wild.
I try to have one special photograph that I bring back from my various travels and workshops as a reminder of the beautiful places I have seen and the knowledge I have gleaned from each.
I also like to drive back roads searching out objects and scenes that are a record of our past. Some day they will be gone. I make these images as a personal record of the past. I use images in this way to remind us of times gone by. I prefer natural lighting. It helps me see with my creative side, my interpretation of the elements that appeal to me. I share with others, that view, of work I do for pleasure." --Kathleen Gerdes
