Swamp noble

Swamp Noble

Piece description from the artist

Location: Big Cypress National Preserve, Florida 2020

When I visited Big Cypress in Florida, everyone around me began to photograph gators. And of course, you know I also secured a few dinosaur photos on that day. But my favorite photo was of a Cormorant perched high up on the trees. This swamp noble caught my attention as a golden glow filled the landscape. He looked like a highborn or royal looking over his domain.

When I went home and began post-processing, I did some research on my subjects, as I often do. I found out that many cultures consider Cormorants a symbol of nobility and indulgence. In some parts of the world, fishing communities believe that these aquatic birds bring good fortune.

*Composite photo: I like to associate my bird photography with clouds, so I often use interesting skies I photograph to composite a more pleasing image.

About San Herman Lopez

Snoqualmie, WA

Hi, I am San Herman López, but you can call me San or Sanzei. Currently, I reside in the breathtaking state of Washington. My journey through art began when I was just a child, and it has been a constant source of inspiration and growth for me.

Around 2015, I made a decision that would shape my creative path profoundly: I decided to dive headfirst into honing my photography skills. Little did I know just how transformative this decision would be.

Photography has become my sanctuary, a meditative practice that allows me to find solace and meaning in the world around me. It is not just about capturing images; it's about delving into the essence of existence, about seizing those fleeting moments that often go unnoticed.

My camera has become an extension of myself, a tool for personal growth, and a means to express how I see the world. Every click of the shutter is a step further into the intricate tapestry of existence, a testament to my unceasing journey of artistic and personal enlightenment.

I invite you to join me on this visual voyage as I continue to explore our world. I hope to inspire others to embark on a journey of discovery, to see the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to appreciate the timeless dance within the canvas of reality.
