Hello, I'm Douglas Remington, and welcome to Ethereal Light.™

I was born in Portland Oregon, and was raised on an organic farm in a rural area not far from Portland. This is where the foundation of my enjoyment of the outdoors came from.

My photography interest began when at 16 years of age (1986) a neighbor had some "35mm equipment for sale." I was immediately taken by photography and immersed myself into it quite seriously - the rest is history.

For me, being in the wilderness is a great passion for me and the camera has always been part of my adventures into the wild and elsewhere. I do hope that my images of wild natural areas inspire people to visit them in a conscientious manner and to work towards preserving them for generations to come.

I also enjoy photographing people and other subject matter as well; whatever my mind's eye and camera are "meant to do” at a given moment in time. For as long as I can reminisce things seem to have an ethereal luminescence to them; hence the term: "Ethereal Light™" an expression I have been using since the 1980s. This sensation I try to convey in much of my artwork.

Beyond the realm of visual alchemy, I also dabble in beekeeping, am an avid cyclist, and maintain interest in creating great cuisine, blade smithing, philosophy, history, mythology, mysticism, and symbolism.

In addition I also play guitar and am a passionate maker of all things fermentable (I'm the creator of, TraditionalMead.com).

Cheers.
