Karl and Kathleen Nichter Photography



This blog began in 2009, about a year after we started our photography business. People attending our photo exhibits, or our hikes and workshops, asked for details on where we traveled for photography. As naturalists we usually kept a field journal, so we used that as a basis for Field Notes.
In Summer, 2014 we took a break from the blog because our business, and lives were changing. In January 2015 the blog restarted with an expanded theme. It now contains photography, notes, and articles from all of our travels and all of our photography, not just nature themed. The posts prior to 2014 have been archived.

Thank you for visiting.

Good-bye, and Hello

Sunset Bench
This blog started when we started our photography business, almost seven years ago. Karl and I took up photography seriously again as we both decided to take an early leave from the business careers we both enjoyed up to that point. It was time for a change in our lives, we wanted to be outdoors more, have more control over our schedules, expand our creative lives, and perhaps most importantly, work together.

All this and more has happened over the past seven years. We both grew as photographers. Karl ventured into fine art photography and black-and-white images. I started writing again in addition to expanding my photography, and found they compliment each other nicely. We enjoyed our commercial success, but chose to limit the commercial aspect and concentrate on the message of our work, along with improving the art and craft.

I revamped this blog several times over the years. It languished this summer due to some life changing events we experienced, and I finally accepted that it was time to retire this blog and start another. The posts will remain up for reading and reference as long as I see traffic coming to the site.

Thank you for the tremendous support over the years. Some of you I met in person in our classes and hikes, some left comments which I enjoyed, and some just loyally read each entry. The new blog is in design, and I will announce it here when it launches.

I am sad for the end of this part of our journey, and excited to start the next part.
