About Ralph Nordstrom
Even though I was raised in a middle class family in which my father ran a construction business and my mother was a stay-at-home housewife, I was fortunate to inherit an artistic sense from my dad and a talent for the piano from my mom. My dad gave me painting lessons on Saturdays and my mom made sure I got music lessons starting at the age of five.
Like so many others, I have always been interested in photography. And while my life's journey took me into many diverse and interesting endeavors, photography was always there as a means of expression and fulfillment. I was the yearbook photographer in college, worked in a photography studio and, from the birth of my daughter in 1994 was never very far from a camera.
My passion for wilderness has taken me to high mountain lakes and dancing streams where I’ve dropped off to sleep under an incomparable starry sky. I have intense feelings about nature and our beautiful Mother Earth that inspire my photographs. Often in the field I overflow with excitement and I try to share those same feelings through my works. It is a privilege to be by the side of a lake or some other beautiful place at dawn and experience the gentle coming of the day. Actually, I don't need much of an excuse to grab my camera and head out for the wilderness. It is always a cleansing experience and I return refreshed, renewed, often exhausted, and from time to time with some really nice photographs.
I've had several 'careers' in education along the way, teaching the full gambit from pre-school to adult, and handicapped to gifted. So branching into photographic workshops was a very natural path for me. I take great pleasure in sharing the things I've learned with others and helping them along the path of discovering their artistic voice. My philosophy on workshops is simple. They are successful when the attendees return home with a few great photographs and feeling that they have expanded what I like to call their 'Creative Vocabulary;' that is, their ability to express themselves through their photography.
Simply put, photography is my motivation, my passion and my future. And I welcome any who would like to join me on this grand and exhilarating quest.
