Welcome to Eye of the Maker Photography. My name is Edith Weiler and I thank you for taking time to view my art. My work consists primarily of environmental portraits, small weddings, high school senior portraits, pets, and event photography. My candid and thought out formal images capture how much I enjoy the unaltered and honest representation of any living spirit.
Another important component of my work is retailing fine art photography for the serious Interior Art client. I use the visual perception of any environment to extract information that I can transform into art, utilizing both Nikon film and digital equipment.
Photography keeps my psyche sharp, my mind engaged, and my soul humble, giving me regular outlets for my curiosity, my study of detail, and a natural examination of the world. What keeps all this alive is my desire to tell visual stories that give emotional messages.
My introduction to art appreciation started at an early age, with close family and friends who were extremely talented in many types of artistic expression, including music. My earliest memories of photography started when my grandmother would often show a hard-cover copy of National Geographic. In it was an article about her first cousin, Dr. William Harding Longley, a botanist who, in 1926, partnered with Kodak to make the first underwater camera. This camera now rests in the archives at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC. An article describing this remarkable partnership can be found on National Geographic’s website.

Freelance Photography is my second career and artistic discipline. In 1999, after spending more than twenty years as a cosmetologist, and eleven years as a salon owner, I realized that the time had come to transition my artistic abilities to a different medium.
I am often asked, “Why did you choose photography?” My answer is that I didn’t choose photography – it has chosen me. It fits what suits me, along with all the past working and creative experiences I have had. My first camera was a gift from my husband: I just stared at it. Now, many years and many cameras later, I can reflect about how grateful I am for that gift. He had been listening to me describe my interests – sensing my thoughts and dreams about photography. Then I started listening to my own thoughts and dreams about photography.
I do not wish to categorize myself as a specific type of photographer: I simply draw on my experiences and my skills – both learned and natural – to capture unique images of life and its offerings. Although I enjoy many photographic styles, my greatest enjoyment and satisfaction lie in abstract photography. Abstraction suits best my free-spirited way of being – an open-minded approach to presenting and expressing thoughts, feelings, emotions. I believe that photographic images don’t always have to “make sense”. Rather, they are meant to awaken your senses.
