Your Bio

I am a New Mexico native, born in Las Cruces, NM where I received an undergraduate degree in Physics. I went to graduate school at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kansas, and returned to New Mexico in 1988 and have been at the Los Alamos National Laboratory ever since. I love the outdoors and spend as much time as possible there, usually practicing my chief hobby, photography. As a result, most of my photography is nature and wildlife photography. I have shown and sold photographs in juried competitions around the country, including locally in Los Alamos and Santa Fe.

I have a larger set of photographs at pbase.com/srlee ( http://www.darkglassphotography.com points there now). I am slowly transitioning to smugmug at the present time. If you see something on pbase that you are interested in, send me an email (darkglassphotography@gmail.com). I also have a Facebook fan page at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Los-Alamos-NM/Dark-Glass-Photography/193268979570.

For those that are curious, the "icon" image at the top of my website is a photograph taken in Olympic National Park in Washington state of Sol Duc Falls. I have not moved my Olympic National Park gallery to smugmug yet, but I will soon.

Finally, I am often asked what "Dark Glass Photography" means. It is a reference to the following passage from the Bible: "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known" (1 Corinthians 13:12, KJV). This passage is particularly meaningful to me for several reasons that I won't go into here. In the context of photography, however, it speaks to my own perception and how I perceive the truth of that perception as well as the perception of those that view my photographs and how we each see, perceive, feel, and understand things quite differently even when we are looking at precisely the same thing.
