intended to shoot . “ The steam on the falls just wasn ’ t working , so I just wandered to find something else .”
In addition to taking trips around the country to photograph classically beautiful scenery , he ’ s always looking for interesting subjects in unexpected places . He works to experiment with shapes , angles and focus to bring out his own personal style , and sometimes catches something amazing in the mundane . One example of this is a beautiful shot of sun rays , shining like liquid gold in the air off the highway next to an unremarkable housing development . “ You would never know where it was taken . All the people passing had no idea .”
Donald is continuously coming out with new releases . He takes photos during his day to day life , and on hikes and short trips throughout the Pacific Northwest , and on longer photography trips around the United States , so there ’ s a lot of variety to his work and always something new to see in his shop and his social media . His current goal is to get all of the images processed from his Alaska trip and added to his shop .
time is right and the time is now !
Don ’ s work can be found under the name Sewell Scenics on Facebook and his work can be purchased through Etsy . From the familiar scenes of his hometown of Spokane , Washington , to Montana and Portland , and even Utah and Alaska , Sewell Scenics has something for everyone .
