Through photography, I have been exposed to the power, beauty, and diversity of nature. Living in Arizona, I come across scenes daily that allow me to share the smallest of details to the most grand of displays with others.

Photography opens my eyes to how delicate our world can be and I hope to inspire others to notice too.

Just Past the Third Echo

by Jim Ford

Just Past the Third Echo . . .

{Soft Vanilla Crown}

… Wandering is a passion,

where it leads me is not as important

as what I see along the way

{Life Without Parole}

{Fishy Business}

{Black and Blue}

{Tracks and Stacks}

Jim Ford’s worked for what he says ‘seems a life time‘ in traditional darkroom work and an office without windows.

This series of images, which you can find in his new book, Just Past The Third Echo, celebrates Jim’s first summer of retirement. He says he’s enjoying his view from his now-digital studio & he’s not going back.

These images were shot at the “Olmec: Colossal Masterworks of Ancient Mexico” exhibition at the de Young museum, in San Francisco.

America’s oldest civilization, the Olmec flourished from as early as 1500 BCE to about 400 BCE in the tropical lowlands of south-central Mexico, in the modern-day states of Veracruz and Tabasco.

They were the first major Pre-Columbian civilization in Mexico and laid many of the foundations for the civilizations that followed. 

Among other “firsts”, there is evidence that the Olmec practiced ritual bloodletting and played the Mesoamerican ballgame, hallmarks of nearly all subsequent Mesoamerican societies.

The most familiar aspect of the Olmecs is their artwork, particularly the aptly-named colossal heads.
