Ed Ogle

I grew up in the mountain resort town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee which is just outside the Great Smokey Mountains National Park. My parents worked for the park service so I grew up mostly in the forest there. I spent my career working in high tech research and development. I moved to Colorado from Tennessee in 1984 and these two states are the only places I have lived. I currently live in Loveland, CO and am a member of the Loveland Photographic Society which is a PSA sponsor.

I developed an interest in photography around age 11 and have maintained that interest off and on all throughout my life. Because of my connection to the National Park Service, I was exposed to lots of photography early on. Around the time Covid 19 started (2020) I made the decision to join the two local camera clubs, Loveland Photographic Society and Fort Collins Digital Camera Club, because they were meeting on-line. Before that I really didn’t interact with other photographers.

My wife and I are still very active and when our various age-related afflictions are under control, we spend a lot of time climbing and skiing in the Colorado Rockies. I am also very interested in botany, biology and astronomy. I am a member of the Colorado Native Plant Society. Wildflowers, mountain landscapes and night sky photography are common subjects of my work.
