Welcome to Brendanbenfeeney.com.

I began this web site project at the beginning of the summer. After consulting with my IT & Tech Team, staff, editors, and fellow artists, we began to see patterns emerge pertaining to my artistic work. After editing over 950 recent photographs, classifications developed. I have a deep respect for nature and the natural world, a strong affinity for California–its people, places, and stunning scenery. I am attracted to the world at night. While others slumber, I tend to be out and about in unfamiliar or familiar cities/towns capturing the mood of the night.

Cape Cod has been my second home for many years. I reflect on the wisdom and foresight President John F. Kennedy had in the 1960s to preserve thousands of acres and miles of pristine shoreline. This preserved land became the  Cape Cod National Seashore Park. If if were not for President Kennedy’s  forward thinking and preservation efforts, many of the places on Cape Cod where I photograph would be “off-limits” and in the hands of developers.

Three days ago I returned from a photo assignment in California. The staff at the Marriott Renaissance Stanford Court Hotel would see me come and go—at all hours of the day and night. I was able to capture the Golden Gate Bridge bathed in shroud of fog–shooting images while driving during rush hour. I drove back and forth  3 time across his magnificent  structure to get the perfect shot. Thank you, Mary, for watching  and warning me of oncoming traffic!

It is 1:30 AM. I am back at Cape Cod, Massachusetts.  I am classifying my new work. I plan to post images from my August trip to California on my web site’s late Fall. I offer my work in various price ranges in order to reach a wide audience.

I set my alarm clock to rise early to capture the pounding Atlantic Ocean, photograph seals that hide on a stand of sand I discovered–evading 6 Great White Sharks that have been lurking off the coast of Cape Cod this summer. I am also up early to discover what washed ashore during the night tide.

Enjoy viewing my vision of Cape Cod, nature, California, people, animals, places, and things I encounter on when I travels. Witness the world I capture when many are fast  asleep, deep in slumber.

I welcome you to my world of visual art.

I began this web project at the start of summer. Now, I witness “Back to School” ads, the sedum in my garden beginning to turn green to royal burgundy, and the sun sweeps earlier across the sand dunes of Cape Cod.

When designing this web site with my staff, editors, and Tech Team, we classified my photographic work into distinct categories. I edited over 875 recent photographs to provide you with a “slice of life.” How I see and experience the world.

I just returned 3 days ago from California where I added to my body of artistic work many vibrant images. It times I was out late. Very late. In one instance, I pulled my car over to snap a series of photographs of an old 1920s era movie marquis. Just as I snapped the last shots, the lights turned off. As noted, sometimes one is in the right place at improbable moments in time.

I will update my selections for your viewing and purchase. I sign and limit the editions of my work. I also have for purchase 2 distinct post card sets, also suitable for framing. I want to offer my work in all price ranges.

I am now back on Cape Cod. I plan to rise early tomorrow and photograph the pounding surf of the Atlantic Ocean, see what washed ashore during high tide on the beaches of the Cape Cod National Seashore Park, and hike to a rare strand of beach where seals cluster–hiding from 6 Great White Sharks that have been spotted off the coast of Cape Cod this summer.

Next post………more about California, its people, places, nature, and the spirit of capturing the mood of a San Franciscan night using my Nikon and Cannon camera equipment.

Best regards,
