Mike is a local up and coming photographer who has studied under local master photographers, as well as National Geographic's photographers in the mountains of Colorado. Each of my photographs is an attempt to capture a glimpse of the beauty that is life through my eyes." Mike is a self-taught artist and is thankful to have spent time with and receive inspiration from Master Photographers Ralph Jones (Akron, OH), and David Pfau (Breckenridge, CO). Mike sets himself apart from other photographers of his generation by primarily shooting with Medium format film cameras. Although film can be more expensive and more difficult to use, he feels the vibrant colors and detail it captures is simply unmatched by digital processing. Film also forces each photograph to be composed correctly, and it is not uncommon for Mike to spend a great deal of time waiting for the perfect conditions for a single photograph. The combination of Mike's unique eye for nature, his patience, and his never ending quest to capture the beauty of God's creations, make Mike Wheeler the next up and coming photographer to keep your eye on. Mike has teamed up with local Starbucks to sell his art at several locations, while donating all proceeds to local charity. Along with prints you may see at your local Starbucks, all of the photographs on this site are available in prints. For pricing information, a contact page has been added. Thank You, and Enjoy!
