Wilderness photographer Rodney Lough Jr.<\/p><\/div>\n

After attending the opening of Rodney Lough Jr.’s release of his first image for 2013, held at his San Francisco Wilderness Gallery, to say breathtaking would be an understatement.\u00a0 Not only was I in awe of this image “Cathedral Forest” with its exploding bursts of yellow and gold leaves, I felt not as someone viewing this amazing photograph, but that I was transported to the forest looking and feeling what Rodney saw.<\/p>\n

Originally from Jacksonville, Florida, Rodney Lough received a camera at a young age and began capturing Mother Nature\u2019s beauty.\u00a0 In later years while hiking in Colorado, Rodney had a moment of clarity where he realized his true calling was photography.\u00a0 He left the corporate world and opened a gallery in Sausalito, and in just a few years he opened 3 more, plus a production room in Portland, Oregon.<\/p>\n

His gallery space, located at 1 Jefferson Street<\/a> in the touristy area of Pier 39, is a must see.\u00a0 The gallery is an impressive 14,000 sq. ft. space, the largest single artist gallery in the world, which features his Wilderness Collection.\u00a0 Ranging in size from 16×20 to 4ftx7ft, these photos are presented in a beautifully sophisticated way that is an enlightening experience to view.\u00a0 The enormity of the photographs take your breath away, as you make you\u2019re way from room to room, each image leaving a lasting impression.\u00a0 From a distance one can easily see how spectacular these shots are, but when reviewing closely, you will see an incredible amount of detail.\u00a0 Down to tiny blades of grass or sprays from an ocean wave are vivid and bright, proving an extremely high quality photograph all around.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
