About

Hi, my name is Kerry Leibowitz.  I’m a Midwest-based (I split my time between the Chicago and Indianapolis areas) photographer with a particular propensity for the landscape.  To learn more about me, please visit this page on my photography Web site.

  2. Hi Kerry,

    We met this weekend on Jim’s WV workshop and I am signing up with my personal e-mail account. I just read your blog on exposure and the one on White Sands Monument. I found your information on exposure interesting and timely since I’m heading to NC/Smokies in 2 weeks and have already experienced the waterfall exposure problem there in the Spring. Your suggestions were interesting to me, but more advanced than my current level but you gave me an idea to take multiple exposures to save for future blends when I am ready for that exercise and for the opportunity to improve my images. Your blog on the White Sands area just made me feel very peaceful, both your images and your words were calming in nature and I just really enjoyed that piece.

    Take care and thanks for sharing both the beauty at the places you shoot, but your experience through words as well – I feel like I was there with you vicariously and I could really relate when you spoke about just being caught up in the moment, capturing it in your brain rather than in your camera.

  3. Hello Kerry – I came across your gravitar on “melfrommass’” blog…and what beautiful photos you have! I have an affinity for landscape photography, find it rather mesmerizing sometimes, actually. Thank you for sharing your work. I’ll be following along….

  4. Nice photography!

  5. Kerry, I just nominated you for the Kreative Blogger Award and put a link to your blog on my latest post. Please feel free to respond as you choose, but I did want to do you the honor :-) – Lynn

  6. Kerry, you just visited my site, so I wanted to check you out. I love your shot of the Porcupine Mountains. It brings back memories. I am originally from Muskegon, Michigan, just around the lake from you. I will be looking forward to more from you. I just subscribed to your blog.

    • Thanks, Bob. I’ve checked out your blog a number of times; I’m never disappointed. There’s always some wonderful avian photography to enjoy.

      One of my college roommates (University of Michigan) was from very near Muskegon (Spring Lake). Small world.

  7. Your talents spans more than landscapes – it captures water, light, and materials very well. Nicely done. Especially the pictures that are in color!

  8. Thanks for stopping in :)

  9. Hi Kerry – Thanks for checking out my blog and for the wonderful comments. Your landscape photography is absolutely beautiful!

    • Thanks, Michael!

  10. Hey Kerry, a heads up – I”m linking to two of your posts (wildlife and the follow up, planning) in my post tomorrow (Friday). Hope you enjoy!

  11. Wow…your work is stunning. Made me think for a sec that I should try landscape photography, then I figured who am I kidding (I’ll mostly stick to what I know, whatever that is). Read your bio etc and it’s certainly wonderful for the photographic community that you decided to seriously pick up a camera to translate your vision. You’ve probably heard of Eddie Soloway, and if not, you may want to check out his work. No idea how you found me, but thanks for stopping by. And I hesitate to say this, just b/c I like my anonymity on the web, but small world…it’s likely that we may have had an intro poli sci class or two at U of M (no I’m sure we don’t know each other). Best wishes

    • Thanks very much for the comment (and the follow).

      I’m not sure how I found your blog–probably via a comment on a third party’s blog, but don’t quote me on that.

      I understand your desire to retain a modicum of anonymity on the Web…but, small world indeed. If you were in my graduating class at Michigan and you took any of the intro poli sci classes (there were four at the time) during your first couple of years, we almost certainly were in the same class at least once. I took them all–and started taking 400 level classes the first semester of my sophomore year. Of course, all of those classes had at least 100 students in them (discussion sections notwithstanding), so being in the same class doesn’t necessarily mean all that much. :)

      Thanks for stopping by.

  12. Thanks for visiting my blog today. I am so glad to have found yours. I love your post on luck and landscapes, and have just figured out how good it is to go out sans camera and scout areas! I’ve only just begun!

    • I enjoyed the close-up of the leaf and your “hope” post!

      Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment.

  13. Great photographs and wonderful blog. I will be back to visit often.
    Gerry

    • Thanks, Gerry!

  14. Hello! Thank you for visiting my blog. All I can say about your blog and your
    work is WOW ! :) I love nature and your pictures are amazing!

    • Thanks very much for the gracious words.

  15. [...] two very wonderful people. One is the long overdue ‘Versatile Blogger Award‘ given by Kerry. He awarded me this one right on the new year’s eve =) was very excited then that I could [...]

  16. Hello Kerry,
    You’re a great photographer !!
    I would like to let you know that I nominated you for the sunshine award !
    Cheers
    Mathias

    • Thanks very much, Mathias. That’s very kind of you and I appreciate it. I’ve been nominated for this award once before, but haven’t done the public acknowledgment thing just yet. I’ll rectify that very soon.

      Thanks again, and my apologies for not responding to this earlier; I’ve been out of town for most of the last two weeks.

  17. Leibowitz? Any relation?

    I love your work.

    • Thanks for the kind words.

      Re “relation”…to whom? I’m going to guess that you’re asking about Annie Leibovitz (because of the similarity of the last names and the photographic connection…and the fact that I’ve been asked this question before). If so, no relation (notice the spelling differences).

      • Yeah, I did mean Annie. I missed the spelling difference :) Your photos are the same quality (that’s meant to be a compliment. I love her work).

  18. Hi, I found your blog via 1001 Scribbles. Your posts there are extremely helpful, thank you. I wish I’d found this blog earlier. So to make sure I don’t miss at least the future posts, I’m subscribed. :)

    • Thanks very much and if I’ve been of help to you I couldn’t be more pleased.
