Ken Dvorak, is a self-taught "fine art nature photographer" who started taking images back in the late 1960's when he was in the Navy, stationed in Newport, R.I. Later Ken continued photography while in Salinas, California and living close to where Ansel Adam and other famous photographers plied their craft. Such examples led Ken to follow their footsteps. The following photo images taken by Ken show these influences.

Ken follows one of Ansel Adam directives that photos are "made not taken". He takes an image and with the help of a computer turns it into something he imagined when he clicked the shutter. The results are beautiful and dramatic.
