Jeremy Downs

Exploring the visual differences between the less-traveled paths of both US coasts and the Midwestern "no coast," Direction depicts a desolate country of architectural landscapes and forgotten facades, with an occasional familiar landmark through photography.

Utilizing his professional background in graphic design, Jeremy Downs is influenced by principles including color theory and careful composition to create a unique portrayal of each location. He focuses primarily on the inanimate, while highlighting the subject's essense via use of exaggerated while often complementary color.

He enjoys exploring and capturing these pieces of history, while still possible. As a growing number of the buildings photographed are demolished, Jeremy feels fortunate to have witnessed the former effect on their surrounding and vice versa.

Gary and Kathleen are native Iowans, who currently reside near Madrid, Iowa.Gary has been photographing for over 50 years.  He began with film and moved to digital photography, enhancing his skills through photo workshops and seminars, and striving to understand more about the birds, insects, plants and animals that share our world. ​

Kathleen has had an interest in photography for several years, first taking snapshots of the gardens and pets, then becoming more active especially in landscape photography.

Gary enjoys photographing nature in any form, but also finds pleasure in capturing uncommon views of common subjects, with the Des Moines area offering many beautiful opportunities. His photos are primarily of Iowa, but he and Kathleen also enjoy traveling and capturing photos around the United States.  State, county and National Parks are favorite places to shoot photos. Weekend trips and vacations are always planned with photographic opportunities in mind.  Residing near several parks and their own bird and butterfly gardens provide opportunities to photograph birds and wildlife.
