Nature Is Her Studio

Unlike every other Bio section in every other website featured in Web Profiles, Holly Gordon’s includes a touching video clip telling how she became a full-time nature photographer after the death of her husband. Her cleverly designed site (www.hollygordonphotographer.com) includes slide shows in Photo Essays and a Portfolio containing images from Antarctica to Easter Island. Clicking on any collection opens a small window with tiny thumbnails. Dragging your mouse across the thumbs changes the larger images at the top of the window, but I wish that window was bigger and the images not so compressed so we could better appreciate Gordon’s artistry.

Even though the window is small, she manages to cram in occasional titles. Her Colorado Impressions collection is interesting because of its focus on wildflowers, instead of the famous Rockies and over-photographed subject matter such as the Maroon Bells near Aspen. My favorite image is “Aspen and Columbine” where she manages to capture the delicate state flower in the foreground and our trademark aspen trees in the background. There’s also some wonderful butterfly pictures in the NatureNotes section featuring images from her 4x6 note cards. Gordon likes to say that she “speaks for nature” and she does so in a very eloquent way.

Holly Gordon’s cleverly designed site includes slide shows in Photo Essays and a Portfolio that contains images from England to Antarctica to Easter Island. Yes, the “real” Easter Island.
