Margaret B. Williamson's Photography
MARGARET B. WILLIAMSON
A resident of Salado, Margaret grew up in Belton, attended the University of Texas and in 1962 moved to Houston with her husband Mike. She received a Bachelor of Science degree in Education from the University of Houston and spent most of her adult years in Houston as an educator and Realtor. For her enjoyment of the arts, she became an accomplished artist of china painting and needlepoint and helped teach senior citizens needlepoint and design for 15 years.
In 1998, she and Mike retired to Salado. Resuming a long-standing love of photography, in 2002, she embarked upon studying the art of black and white photography. She has studied for several years with David Hansen, photography professor at Temple College. She has also studied with fine art photographers Alan Ross (Ansel Adam’s photographic assistant from 1974-1979), John Sexton (Ansel Adam’s photographic and technical assistant from 1979-1982), Keith Carter (internationally known fine art photographer) and obtained a personal portfolio review with renowned photographer, Paul Caponigro.
She enjoys capturing the spirit she finds in nature, simple objects, and people through traditional and classic photographic processes in the darkroom where she develops and prints her silver gelatin prints. She also enjoys recording her personal heritage with her images of family photos with a favorite saved treasure.
Her work has received several awards, been selected for various juried exhibitions and has been included in art exhibitions in Abilene, Austin, Belton, Bosque County, Killeen, Temple and solo exhibitions in Salado. Her work is held in public and private collections and can be purchased at Classics in Salado.
Artist Statement
My photographic images reflect the spirit I find in nature, simple objects and people. I see images through the camera viewfinder, and I do not manipulate them in the darkroom or on a computer. It is classic and traditional black and white photography; developing the film and printing on fiber based photo paper, sometimes using a toner to enhance the image.
I love to capture the essence of a beautiful scene, the subtleties of light on an object, and the inner character of a person. I also photograph historical places and images that reveal my own heritage. Some of my images incorporate old and new family photographs with an article that once belonged to the person in the photograph. It is a way to honor the past generations and to convey family roots to the present and future generations.
My interest in photography is to look at my surrounding environment and possibly catch a moment or a hidden composition one would not easily see, to explore the beauty of a simple onion, a white flower or the lines and form of a rock. It is exciting to reflect on all of the natural wonders that are around us and derive pleasure from the experience. My artistic expression is to present beautiful images one would like to visit with on a daily basis, to find peace, serenity and joy.

"Antelope Canyon" by Mike Williamson
Mike is a native of Belton, Texas currently residing in Salado. After graduating from The University of Texas in 1962, he moved to Houston where he spent his professional career at The Methodist Hospital System until his retirement in 1997.
Photography has been a hobby of Mike’s for over 40 years. Upon his retirement and with the advent of the digital camera, it became a serious hobby. He set-out to become the best photographer he could be. Mike has studied with David Hansen at Temple College, George Schaub and Arthur Meyerson at the Santa Fe Workshop, Jay Maisel at the Maine Media Workshops and Craig Varjabedian of the Eloquent Light Photography Workshops. Two of Mike’s photographs were published by Rangefinder Magazine in the January 2007 issue. He was one of five local photographers selected to exhibit his work in 2008 in an exhibition entitled Varied Visions at the Bell County Museum.
Mike’s approach to photography is to find the image most people would walk by unnoticed. The image must possess at least one or two of these qualities: light, color and gesture and ideally all three.
After viewing the pinhole photographs of Bill Wittliff in his book entitled La Vida Brinca, Mike began to learn the art of pinhole black & white photography. Under the guidance of David Hansen Mike did just that. Learning how to use a pinhole camera, develop the negatives, make and tone the prints.
