The beauty of nature
Images that will take your breath away

Greetings

Welcome  to the photography of Ernest J. Schweit .  I am a fine art photographer  passionate about creating beautiful  images  that will take your breath away. I love exploring the natural world and using my camera to communicate what I see. My favorite spots  are the forests and lakes of the midwest, the deserts of Arizona, and the rugged California coast. I love to get up before dawn and make beauiful images in the early morning light. I nap during mid day, so I can save my energy to catch the "golden hour" of late afternoon and the sunset.
I hope you take a few minutes to check out my work. Feel free to leave comments or to ask questions in the comments section on the About page, which you can reach by clicking the button on the bottom of this page.

Photo story

A look at my photography from behind the curtain

I get lots of kidding about my daily practice of napping. I love mid-day snoozing because it gives me a chance to reset my day and often boosts creativity. Turns out, I'm not alone in this habit; folks like Thomas Edison and Sir Winston Churchill were prodigious nappers. And there's a body of research that backs ups the notion that napping can juice up onen's creativity. Read about in in my latest blog.
