George A. Holmes became a photographer the last five years of his twenty year Air Force career. During this time he oversaw the Photographic Laboratory at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
After his retirement from the Air Force, he was a photographer for Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe’s administration. In January of 1980 George joined the staff of the Jack S. Blanton Museum of Art (formerly the Archer M. Huntington Art Gallery), The University of Texas at Austin. He worked at the art museum until March of 1998, when he retired to pursue his own photography and web design.
These images document George’s travels in the southwestern United States, France, and Italy and reflect his interest in architecural landscapes. Each image has been exposed, computer manipulated, and printed by the artist to create an inkjet print.

Web site designer and photographer. Product photographer for web sites and web site design. Online photography, online photographs for sale. I have made my living from photography since 1969. Starting in the US Air Force and continued through the Texas Governors Office then for 18 years as the Photographer of fine Art at the University of Texas' Jack S. Blanton Museum of Fine Art. While I did struggle in the beginning (and still do on occasion) over the issue of whether digital photography was "real" or "legitimate", my fears have been put to rest by the extraordinary flexibility that digital photography allows. In the past, when I would see a particular shot in my mind, I often found myself saying "This would be such a good shot, if only...(the power lines weren't there, the trash can wasn't in the way, etc.). Now, with the power of digital, I'm able to create those "perfected" scenes. And the fact is, all photography, even from its earliest days in the 1800's, has employed some brand of enhancement to achieve the final result, whether it be dodging and burning (lightening and darkening specific areas), bleaching, or toning. In the end, whether the tool is a camera, a paintbrush, or a pencil and paper, the main goal of any creative person, is to express their vision and to, hopefully, create an image that is visually appealing.
