My story as a photographer...
I am Mike Morash. I live in a small rural community outside of Ottawa, Canada. I live there with my wife Robin and our dog Lily.
Several years ago I retired from a thirty-five-year career employed by several local technology companies serving in various technical and business roles. During that time, I had the good fortune to visit many countries across 6 continents. Over those years I developed a passion for photography and off-the-beaten-track travel. My travels allowed me to explore many genres of photography.
With more time on my hands, I continue planning off-the-beaten-track adventures traveling the world focusing on experiencing and photographing diverse world cultures, textured landscapes, and exotic and endangered species.
I am a firm believer in the age-old adage "practice makes perfect". I continue to hone my skills; engaging and analyzing other photographers' works and experimenting with my own to produce thoughtful compositions and meaningful images. Needless to say based on the many thousands of images I have taken to date I have yet to take my best photograph ever. I continue to focus on fundamentals, am not afraid to explore and try different techniques and refine and tune my overall approach to support my efforts to produce compelling, meaningful images.
