About Michael J. Mee
PHOTOGRAPHY IGNITES EXCITEMENT
I think a photograph can bring back memories of long ago, excite the imagination of places and things not yet experienced, or comfort the mind and soul by its sheer imagery. Here is what awaits you in the following web pages. It is my fondest wish that you enjoy my work.
SCENIC EXCERSIONS - photos of some of various locations I have visited.
TRAINS AND GHOST TOWNS - photos of the Cumbres-Toltec Scenic Railroad, and the mining ghost town of Bodie (in California), Creed, Animas Forks, and Buckskin Joes (in Colorado)
ARIZONA SANDSTONE CANYONS - photographs of Rattlesnake Canyon and Upper and Lower Antelopes Canyons slot canyons outside of Page, AZ.
MY ART contains some of my more eclectic photography.
HOW DID I GET STARTED
My interest in photography started at a young age thanks to my Uncle Bill Riordan and developed into a love thanks to the support of my parents,
Marylou and James Mee.
I did what most young photographers did. I worked on the school newspaper and annual staff and I photographed wedding on the side. I also photographed the Presidential Disaster Declaration efforts in Utah and Wyoming for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Eventually I became a professional photographer specializing in commercial and industrial photography.
I soon discovered that I enjoyed photographing for myself rather than meeting others expectations. Since that realization, I shoot what I
want, when I want, and where I want. I feel truly blessed!!
TAKE MEE HOME
It has been very enjoyable going through the many images I have and selecting the ones that I have presented to you. Some were selected because the image stirs memories of fonder times, while others were selected because they are just weird or different. Either way, I hope you see images that interest you and cause you to smile. And if you did smile, imagine smiling while you are looking at that photograph on your own wall. Just sayin'.
