My First Speaking Engagement Sharing My Passion for Photography

Ron Foster April 16, 2019

Last evening I had a wonderful opportunity to speak to a crowd of residents from the Fort Greene Community and surrounding neighborhoods. I shared the slideshow presentation of photos from my landscapes, people, and wildlife collections. The response from the audience and outpouring of gratitude warmed my heart. Like in times past I did have butterflies beforehand. I suppose this will always be the case. It's not like this was my first speaking engagement, I have spoken in front of way larger crowds before. But this was different, I spoke about a subject dear to my heart, my photography tied into the theme of the night, "Earth and the Environment"

Curbside Reflection

Ron Foster January 29, 2018

The heavy rains have stopped after a fierce thunderstorm, and everyone is moving quickly to their destinations. Dark clouds above and the city streets are wet and shining. I walked along the curbside of 34th street and I looked down to avoid the puddles. However, a puddle reflecting the Empire State Building grabbed my attention. Never has a puddle look so inviting to take a photo of it. In New York City, you will never know where you will find that next great shot.

African Girl Look Its the Future

African Girl Look Its Your Future

While Photographing the governor's room at the slave castle located in Cape Coast, Ghana, a young girl excitedly runs to the window. Her small frame body standing in front of the large old rustic window grabbed my attention. The light rays so bright shining in from the outdoors was such a brilliant sight. It casted upon her in such a special way. The moment had to be captured. I thought to myself, she looks like she is starring into her future. I then snapped the photograph. Of all the photos I have taken, this one still holds a special place with me.

I want to dedicate this photograph to the many young girls and women around the world who aspire to do great things in service and in deed for humanity sake. The white space outside this window is like a blank canvas for you to create the dreams you desire.

The future is yours. Be bold and be strong. Never stop dreaming or pursuing the dream within your heart.

The Gentle Giant

Ron Foster January 23, 2018

I never get tired of photographing these marvelous creatures. The elephants are the gentle giants of our world. They move with such grace and strength. Yet, they are so playful and child like. I remember just staring and watching with anticipation for the elephants next move. They truly rule their surroundings. It was a pure blissful moment when I captured this beautiful black and white photograph. The contrast of the dark gray textured skin of the elephant and the white background make a good composition.

Leopard Waiting Standing Strong

Looking for his mate, the leopard stands erect listening for the sounds of her approach. The sun is beginning to set. He stands in the shaded area of the brush.
