New Year - New Beginning https://www.ernestkoch.com/blog/2023/1/new-year---new-beginnings First ... Happy New Year!  I hope this new year brings good health, prosperity, love and happiness to you all!

Last year, we downsized to a lovely townhome in Perkasie. We were blessed to celebrate our first Christmas with the family there (2022).  As we begin the new year (a first, as well), we look forward to continuing to fill this home with love and lots of my photos :>).  The picture over the fireplace is one of mine. My wife plans to change it with the season.  Lucky thing she is married to a photographer.  Summer, Spring, Fall, Winter ...I've got it covered.

Rutgers Arts Studio Tour + Fundraiser https://www.ernestkoch.com/blog/2021/10/rutgers-arts-studio-tour-fundraiser Hello Everyone.  It's been awhile since I've posted to my blog.  Summer can get crazy! 

I wanted to share the great news that I have been invited back to Rutgers Landscape and Nursery for their "plein air studio tour + fundraiserFall Art Exhibition and Sale.  This one is special because Fisherman's Mark (a Lambertville organization) will be collecting non-perishable foods, diapers, personal hygiene items, and cleaning supplies for families in the area hit hard by recent weather events.  

Please stop by and see me and Sharon tomorrow or Sunday.  I have lots of great framed and matted pictures for you to see.  If you can, please bring some items for those in need.  

We hope to see you there.  Remember, Saturday or Sunday from 11 - 3.

Happy Fall!
Ernie

P.S. Please read the flyer.  Lots of artists and musicians PLUS Rutgers has lots of Fall Specials.  Come and explore.  On a personal note, you will find absolutely everyone at Rutgers Landscape and Nursery to be helpful and friendly as can be.

Juried-In the Prestigious Philadelphia Sketch Club "Art of the Flower" 2021 Exhibition https://www.ernestkoch.com/blog/2021/4/juried-in-the-prestigious-philadelphia-sketch-club-art-of-the-flower-2021-exhibition Great News!  I entered 8 photographs (10 were allowed) for consideration for inclusion in the prestigious Philadelphia Sketch Club "Art of the Flower Exhibition."  I knew that the maximum number of photographs that could be accepted for the Exhibition was 4 (if the judge considered them worthy of being juried-in) and I was hopeful that one or more would make it.  I gotta tell you, I was seriously excited when I was advised that 4 of my photographs (the maximum possible) were accepted!  What an honor!  I didn't win the best photograph in this contest.  Cheryl Bomba, a highly-respected and seriously-talented photographer friend did; but, I was really honored to be included in the company of such great artists and photographers.  I take that as a treasured win.  The virtual exhibition runs from April 25th to May 25th.  Stop in and see some outstanding work.

This is it! My photography website is live today. https://www.ernestkoch.com/blog/2021/3/this-is-it-my-photography-website-is-live-today Blog | E T Koch

Well, this is it! My fine art photography website is finally finished!  There are some odds and ends yet to be done (it's a lot of pictures to title, caption, and keyword!!); but, for all intents and purposes, the website is finished and I am thrilled to be able to share it with you.

So, you might ask, "What is Fine Art Photography?"  By definition, fine art photography is photography created in line with the vision of the photographer as artist, using photography as a medium for creative expression. In practice, it is just something I do. I see beyond the image I am capturing and I translate what I see into the picture I "make." 
Many years ago, I was inspired by the words of renowned fine art photographer, Ansel Adams. He said, "You don't take a photograph. You make it."  Yes, that's what I endeavor to do. I hope, as you look through my galleries, you like what I have "made". 

Please subscribe to my Blog to keep up with what's happening at Ernest T Koch Fine Art Photography. Stay tuned ...and, again, thank you so much for being here.

Ernie
