Dad was fairly well known in our region as a photographer, but I felt he was an artist and defintely a poet at heart. He loved to hike and just be outdoors. He took many photos of trees and other of nature's aspects, sometimes waiting hours or coming back another day to get just the right lighting. I loved the names he titled his photos...(his art). Names like:  "The Three Graces", Mystic Forest", the "Silver Path", "The Harp O' The Winds" ... To me, dad was both an artist and a poet.

I placed more information about dad on this webpage: www.clydebanks.com/about.html

Today a friend suggested I create a photo gallery webpage and add a few more of his photos. So I will try to do this soon.
