Cannon Beach Ecola Pass by Artist Ike Leahy and Northwest Art Mall. Most camera enthusiasts are capable of becoming good photographers. Many of the world's top photographers received no formal art training. Their artistic and visual senses were developed by cultivating their awareness and observation powers. Ike Leahy is just such a person. He has been shooting nature landscapes for over twenty years. His resume includes being a California police officer, seasonal national park ranger, head hunter/technical recruiter, human resource manager and even has spent time working as a sales associate in a Thomas Mangelsen art gallery. Intense color and simple composition provide the cornerstone of his photographic style. The common thread found throughout his photographic images is a positive energy that elicits emotional response whether hung in the home or the office.
