Photography by Brian Parmeter. (Photo courtesy Finlandia University)Parmeter received a Bachelor of Science in Mass Communications at St. Cloud (Minn.) State University. He studied digital media at St. Paul (Minn.) Technical College and color photography printing (traditional silver-based technology) at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design. He also attended Michigan Technological University, where he currently instructs photography courses.
Parmeter’s connection with landscapes is that of respect, wonder and amazement. While wandering to find a good shot, he says he feels as if he is "trespassing" in a majestic land and his footprints taint the natural surrounding beauty -- a beauty which he captures in color or black and white.
Most amazingly, Parmeter says, capturing nature in a shot is like capturing a glimpse of eternity, something "never to be seen again, but to be repeated forever."
