Allen Bargen : Nature
Allen’s photographic interests, while essentially general, includes people and places and demonstrates a passion for nature. Nature has certainly taken him to most of the continents in search of new adventures. Action and sports events are, more recently, a big draw for him and over the past several years has introduced him to the high speed world of Motor Sports, Dog Racing and pretty much anything that moves quickly.
He is a proud life member of the Canadian Association for Photographic Art (CAPA), and a CAPA certified Judge. Allen is available for photographic lectures and Workshops.
