“American River Canyon Full Moon” photography and<br />
digital rendering by William D. Owens<br />
About the Cover<br />
Yet another perspective <strong>of</strong> one <strong>of</strong> the most treasured resources in this<br />
region: The American River. This rendered photo combines the keen<br />
eye <strong>of</strong> the photographer with a digital post-processing approach to<br />
create a surreal deep-blue image that conveys equally deep emotions<br />
through its natural moonlit beauty and poignant hazy expressions. The<br />
image was captured shortly after sunset in the winter <strong>of</strong> 2005 as the<br />
rising moon illuminated the clouds and fog settled into the middle<br />
fork <strong>of</strong> the river canyon.<br />
About the Artist<br />
William D. Owens is making a name for himself creating s<strong>of</strong>t, moody<br />
images reminiscent <strong>of</strong> painted works using computer-assisted photoprocessing<br />
techniques. The long-time Auburn resident enjoys a growing<br />
fan base as he expands his presence through regional art competitions,<br />
local exhibitions and expositions at galleries and gift shops.<br />
Many <strong>of</strong> his photos use vapor and haze to turn ordinary scenes<br />
into ethereal visions. Owens can be reached through his business—<br />
