Alfred Haymond – Altadena, CA

When asked, what’s my ardent fascination with black & white photography – I readily explain, “There is just something so quaint, therapeutic and very nostalgic about the medium.”

Originally from Los Angeles, I am a self-taught yet accomplished photographer whose approach is described simply as, “observational photography, the art of finding those mundane occurrences happening all around us and visually documenting them.”

Diagnosed with MS in 2012, I decided to take a daring leap, going beyond a mere hobby to sharing my work with the greater community. “I had received some life-altering news at the time and figured I should do something meaningful with my photographs rather than to let them just sit in boxes out in the garage.”

The vintage architecture, rural landscapes, intimate pictorials, street photography, and fleeting scenes of Americana are the stories poignantly and continuously told through the lens of my camera.
