  Richard Ashmore, an Orange native and adjunct instructor of Geology at Lamar University, recently received the First Place Juror Award for Color Photography at Viewpoint 2008 for his photograph: Illuminated Memories, 2007.
  
  Of the several hundreds of entries, two of Ashmore's photographs were selected for exhibit along with 48 other images by artists from throughout the United States.
  ...
  Illuminated Memories, 2007 is the second photograph of Ashmore's to earn a national award.Last spring, Ashmore's Javelina Draw - Black and White, 2005, another large composite digital panoramic photograph, earned a Juror Award at Illuminance 2007, a nationally juried photography exhibit at the Buddy Holly Center in Lubbock, Texas.
  
  Ashmore's other photograph chosen for exhibit in Viewpoint 2008 was Alligator Carcass, 2006, which shows a Hurricane Rita victim decaying on the beach at Sea Rim State Park near Sabine Pass.
  
  Another of Ashmore's Hurricane Rita photographs, Cars, 2006, was also recently selected for another national juried fine art exhibit, Texas National 2008.This is the second consecutive time for Ashmore's to be selected for Texas National.
  
  A geologist and biologist, Ashmore's documentary work reveals his interests and professional training in the sciences, art, human nature, history, and architecture.Many of his photographs are high-resolution composite panoramic images.Over the past several years, he has experimented with and employed low and wide-angle techniques to give his photographs a sense of intimacy, producing for the viewer an illusion of being with the photographer at the time the photographs were taken.
  
  To date, Ashmore has had 12 photographs selected for exhibition in nationally juried exhibits in the last two years.Four of these photographs have been of work documenting the effects of Hurricane Rita.

  If Richard Ashmore ever wins a monumentally prestigious prize during his career as a geologist, biologist and photographer, he might want to thank his mom during his acceptance speech.
  
  Ashmore, an instructor of geology at Lamar University and a professional fine arts and documentary photographer, is spotlighted in an exhibit at the Buddy Holly Center Fine Arts Gallery in Lubbock.
  
  During a trip to his family's lake property at Toledo Bend, Ashmore, a senior at Little Cypress-Mauriceville at the time, was walking the property with his mother.
  ...
  What: "Texas Works 2007-2008" fine art photography exhibit of the work of Richard Ashmore
  
  Where: Buddy Holly Center Fine Arts Gallery, 1801 Crickets Avenue (formerly Avenue G) in Lubbock
  
  When: Now through Feb. 10, 2008; 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Tue-Sat, 1-5 p.m. Sun.Opening Reception: 6-9 p.m. Jan. 4, 2008.Artists' Gallery Talk: 7:30 p.m. Feb. 1
  ...
  She kept talking about it until, finally, she got my interest," Ashmore, 35, said.
  ...
  "I've always had an interest in nature and the outdoors, so it wasn't too far a stretch to go to the next step, as far as studying rocks and fossils and things like that," Ashmore said.
  
  Ashmore, who earned three associate degrees from Lamar College Orange, bachelors of geology and earth science at Lamar University, and a masters in geology at Texas Tech, currently is working on his dissertation at Tech.
  ...
  Jim Stevens always photographed and videotaped the areas they mapped, in this case the Boquillas Formation, and Ashmore somehow ended up being the "official" photographer.
  ...
  In 1998, 12 years later, Ashmore began shooting panoramic photography.
  
  "Being a documentary photographer, when I first started, I had a distinct purpose, to collect information.Then, I wanted to record and document environments and places.During that time, I was learning how to take a professional panoramic image that might be 30 images pieced together, but it is seamless.That's very precise work," Ashmore said.
  
  Now that he has mastered the technique, he spends his efforts capturing images that provoke questions.
  
  He uses the example of Day of the Dead celebrations, which might make one wonder: "How do we deal with grief?"
  
  His landscapes prompt the question: "How do humans alter landscapes?"
  
  His latest works are of "dramatic geological phenomenon or formations" and portraits that "capture emotion or facets of a person's personality or character," he said.
