William Carr Gallery William Carr, Modern Master of Photography, travels the world collecting images in exotic and historic locales.

"I am compelled to share with the world this beauty of nature and spirit of the land; to linger in the light and await its revelation." World Focus Images

William Carr

The artistic temperament is one of wonder. There is an innate desire to create and a willingness to struggle for one’s craft. It is not enough to be born an artist, for the artistic character is forged from the dual fires of stru

ggle and persistence. Once in a lifetime an Artist appears and amasses a body of work that captures the perfection of creation and the truth of beauty that resides in every rock, cloud and ray of light. William’s artistic vantage displays an understated complexity within his visual composition. Each image commands attention with vivid secret views into places exotic and foreign. An innovative approach to the visual language of photography. William Carr travels like a native through distant lands, understanding the eloquence and subtlety of different cultures and their relationship with the planet. “My greatest hope is to nourish a “World Focus” on the preservation and conservation of this miraculous place we call home”. Completely self-taught, William is one of the most Collected photographers in the world, with over 35 million images sold worldwide.

CREATION
On one of my Hawaii location shoots I found myself driving down an undeveloped area of south Maui late in the afternoon, looking for the perfect combination of land and sea. As the sunset approached I became more frantic (as I sometimes do) to find an opening between the Lava rocks that revealed an opportunity to catch incoming waves. I found such an opening and ran to the water’s edge, set up the shot, minutes later the sun went behind the cloud bank and sprayed rays of burnt orange light across the sky. I named this image Creation as I contemplated The primordial soup of early life.

In late 2017 I was researching interesting places in europe to photograph once I finished four intense days photographing Venice’s Carnival in mid February. I discovered four historic libraries two in Austria one in Switzerland and one in Germany. I proceeded to reach out to each one and ask if I could be granted permission to photograsph the interior of these great halls of learning, permission was granted, I was ecstatic! The morning after carnival I headed to Linz Austria where St. Florian Monastery library resides. My appointment was the next morning so I checked into a quaint hotel and waited with great anticipation for the morning session. Next day on to Admont abbey Monastery Library in Austria, same routine, then on to St. Gallen Abbey Library in Switzerland. Finally the amazing Kloster Wiblingen Abbey Library. What struck me the most was the craftsmanship from the fine woodwork to the rococo and baroque ornamentations and the beautifully painted frescos from the early eleventh century onward. But mostly the priceless volumes of learning kept safe in these spiritual halls, monasteries and abbeys.

GRAND FALLS
Grand Falls of the Little Colorado River, sometimes referred to as "chocolate falls" because of the reddish brown sediment that the river picks up during high water events. It was very tricky working my way down to the canyon floor then around the canyon wall to the spillway. Equally tricky was the trek back after the amazing sunset when it was almost dark.

TORCHLIGHT
The drifting sands of time are constantly in motion and yet seldom changing. This is a sacred landscape of endless vistas and ancient spiritual monuments, nurtured and protected by the people who have called it home for millennia, the Navajo.I was honored to visit this sacred place, off limits to most and frequented by few. As we approached the golden sand dunes, I noticed my wise Navajo guide seemed quietly reflective as we stood in awe of these sacred towers of stone. Soon the low golden sun ignited the tall slender stones. And so began Nature’s nightly dance of light and shadow.

HEAVENLY LIGHT
The fog was thick this particular morning in the Redwoods. I felt lucky because the Rhododendrons were in full bloom. As I wandered around looking for the perfect composition I found a nice display of perfectly pink flowers. Soon the fog had started to lift and burn off, suddenly it was like the heavens just opened up and sprayed the forest with Devine light. I accentuated the Rhododendrons with a little fill flash so they wouldn't get lost in the back lighting. The beauty of our world is not to be taken for granted. That's why I named my company World Focus Images

SYMBOLIC
My story of 9-11-2001
It was the spring of 1999. I was in Monument Valley, Utah on one of my several day photography excursions. It had been a long day of hiking and shooting and I was ready for a satisfying meal and some rest. Across from the restaurant was a gift shop. There were some posters on the wall, one of them an image of the shadow from the most westerly Mitten Butte being cast perfectly onto the twin east butte. I stared in disbelief and thought to myself, “That really happens? When?” I rushed outside to look at the Mitten Buttes which are in plain sight from the gift shop, but the sun had already set for the evening. The next morning I set out on a fact-finding mission. The indigenous people of the land, the Navajo, would surely know when this monumental event takes place. It had to be not only astronomical, but highly spiritual. I approached a Navajo park guide and asked, “When does the shadow from the one butte cast a shadow onto the other?” He shrugged and said, “I don’t know.” “Really?” So, I approached another and asked the same thing. Same answer - no one knew! I thought, “How odd. This would have to be akin to an eclipse of the sun in scope and spiritual importance.”Over the next two years, I made several trips to Monument Valley to observe the position of the sun for the perfect solar alignment that would reveal this phenomenon. In the spring and again in the fall of 2000 I made two trips to Europe which interrupted my sojourn to the twin towers of stone, But I was soon back on the quest. It was now late summer of 2001. I arrived at the park late in the afternoon and waited for the low sun to reveal the position of the shadow on the east butte. Excitement overcame me! There it was, on the butte, not quite centered but there! I knew it was only a matter of another day or so for the sun to “tick” imperceptibly to the south and align the shadow perfectly within the rust red sandstone butte. It’s important to note that when visiting the remote tribal park in the early 2000’s there was no cell service or internet to speak of so I was unaware of the terrible news that had transpired that morning. When I arrived back to the classic Mitten Butte vantage, after being afield all day, I proceeded to set up my equipment and captured the merging of two TWIN TOWERS of stone. It was 9-11-2001. The next morning I learned of the terrible news that changed our lives forever. Every year, on 9-11 these twin towers of stone symbolically merge, reminding us WE MUST NEVER FORGET!

MYSTIC STONE
I often ponder how creation and destruction dance together; a constant eternal dance that tells the story of our amazing planet.
Ancient winds have filled vast expanses with towering dunes, solidified by time, carved by water and moved by the winds of change. The story unfolds in shapes and hues across the landscape in perfect unison with the dance of light.

Sometimes I like too look back into my archives of 35MM slides and find examples of how, in just a short period of time, things change. Glaciers recede, Forests become grass lands due to fires. with a lower than average snow pack in the rockies our rivers flow with less volume, our lakes held back by great dams are lower as a result. I went on location to shoot Rainbow Bridge in the late 90's when the lake level was high enough to make it all the way underneath. we docked the boat and walked a few hundred feet to the bridge. Now it's a mile walk from where the water ends, up canyon to reach it. My greatest hope is that one day I will see this again.

Using the Intervalometer in my camera, I set up a series of images, each one 30 seconds long and set it to take 300 images at 3200 ISO. I pointed at Polaris, started the sequence and went to bed in the camper. When I got home the next day, I used a stacking technique to combine all the 300 images into one, and here’s the result."
