Frank Zipperer - Nature and Fine Art Photography

"I have had a passion for photography for over 40 years and the greatest influences on my style are the works of Edward Weston, Paul Strand, John Sexton, Clyde Butcher and the artist, Georgia O'Keefe. I enjoy most sharing my vision of what I find in nature through the lens of my camera."
