Hello art lovers! My name is Mark Kryzaniak, and I am pleased to be a part of Loxly Gallery.

I’m a photographer and digital artist who is deeply inspired by nature’s magnificence. Awe and wonderment are God’s gift to us, if we only take a moment to focus on the beauty that surrounds us.

My goal is to accentuate that beauty and share it with all of you.

Over time, my work has progressed from traditional photography to a more creative and uninhibited form of digital art. My images may begin life in my camera, but they are allowed to grow and flourish in my digital darkroom.

I use a variety of techniques to transform reality into something a bit more magical. For example, a lot of my artworks are painted with brushstrokes, layered, blended, etc. - to render something a bit out of the ordinary.

I hope you will find them to be truly unique and intriguing.

I welcome your comments. Your input is invaluable, as we strive to make this an exciting, interactive community: One not merely comprised of artists and photographers - but you, the art lover, as well.

Please enjoy my art!

A little about the image ‘Winterton-on-sea Church‘.

This digitally painted image is of the church at Winterton-on-sea as viewed from the sand dunes.

Area close up of image at 100% gives detail of digital effects.

A little information of the local area follows:
Winterton-on-sea is an old fishing village on the east coast of England some 8 miles north of the popular holiday resort town of Great Yarmouth.
The dunes skirting the village are a designated nature reserve area and popular with bird watchers and also offers walkers some lovely views.
The Church of Holy Trinity & All Saints, has its origins around the 1500’s and its tower, at 125 feet high is one of the tallest in the county of Norfolk.

If any readers or visitors to this site have been to Winterton-on-sea and would like to comment or suggest other images from the area that they would like to see, then your views are most welcome.

Hello all. 

First off, I wanted to thank Loxly for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this blog, as well as present my photography here.  It’s a pleasure to be surrounded by such talented artists.  It’s also humbling on many levels.

My photography essentially surrounds my fishing trips.  And before that begins to sound like there’s going to be a lot of fish pictures here, au contraire…

I tend to spend more of my fishing time looking around at the nature that surrounds me, as well as other interesting elements that catch my eye.  Rest assured, however, that my fly rod and kayak are probably somewhere nearby.

Currently, I’m shooting using a Panasonic DMC-LZ5, but I’m also in the market for a decent underwater camera.  A lot goes on in the water you drive by or over everyday, and long term, I hope to capture a lot of it.

So look for more images from me soon, and please enjoy.

Hello everybody, and welcome. My name is Colin Bailey and it gives me great pleasure to have the opportunity to present my images here at Loxly Gallery.

Most of my images are of the photographic variety, however you may find a few which have been “digitally enhanced” using various computer software and aided by my trusty graphics tablet.

When the mood takes me, or the weather is unfavourable for photography, you may find me producing computer generated images, a couple of which are represented here at the Loxly Gallery.

By far the largest proportion of my photography however, is of the landscape genre, closely followed by my fascination for the drama provided by historical buildings and locations such as churches and castles. I have recently extended my interest to include subjects representing the colour and history of the English canal system and I hope to have many more images appearing here over time covering all genres.

There is often a story which surrounds the making of a particular image and I hope to present here, not just the images themselves, but where there is a story to be told, I will try to include that also.

So please do bookmark this site and be sure to check back regularly for updates and new images.

Now, since Loxly Gallery is a US based site and I am a UK based photographer I am keen to learn of the genre of images from the UK that are popular with you Americans. I would be most pleased if you would educate me to your tastes in images from England, Wales, and Scotland so that I may provide Loxly Gallery with appropriate images for your enjoyment and satisfaction. Please use the facility here to leave a comment with your thoughts and ideas.

Oh yes, for the more curious amongst you, often I am asked, “are you related to David Bailey, famous photographer and film maker?” Well, the answer to that sadly, is no. (Not that I’m aware of anyhow)

Thank you,
Colin.
