Christopher Burkett
Oregon’s Master of Fine Art Photography
“Burkett uses his masterly eye and remarkable printing skills to catch the divine beauty of nature untouched by man. Burkett’s photos catch in meticulous detail the magical convergence of light, form and color that only nature commands. The pictures are a tribute to his unflagging energy, keen eye and absolutely brilliant ability as a color printer.”
