The photographs displayed here were created by photographer Stephen
Brown to capture the sense of grandeur found in the rolling hills
and vast flatlands of lower Sonoma County in Northern California.
Using a panoramic format designed to mimic the visual perception
of the human eye, Brown photographed with high gamut negative
film to preserve the quality of light unique to coastal areas
of earth situated near 40 degrees North latitude. The color of
the sky and the soft quality of light found on certain days in
Sonoma is nearly identical to that found in much of the Mediterranean,
especially those areas known for excellent wines, food and art.
Printed on archival watercolor papers using the Giclee process,
the photographs are subtle, textured impressions of the Sonoma
Valley, and are well suited for high traffic, high ambient light
display in hotels, restaurants and fine homes.
