Amarillo native Phillip Periman has been exploring photography “compulsively” since 1989 and says his subject matter includes everything he sees: people, landscapes, street scenes, and whatever else shows up in front of his lens.

Aaron Hutchinson, a student of photography at Tarrant County College’s Northeast Campus in Hurst, Texas, is not shy about breaking the rules of photography to bring out his inner thoughts visually.

René West and Mark Penland have been creating collages ever since they could hold scissors, but on their present-day digital odyssey they don’t need scissors.
West, associate professor of photography at Amarillo College (AC), and Penland, a freelance photographer and photography lab manager at Tarrant County College’s Northeast Campus, are now creating art with Artificial Intelligence (AI).
Dr. Chris Hudson has long been drawn to the boundless crop circles that airline passengers cannot help but see blanketing the Great Plains, so much so in fact that he has drawn them – painted them, too.
