Flower Photographer Has Changed Locations

My passion is photography; flower photography is my art. My name is Glenn Franco Simmons, and I am a former rural daily and weekly newspaper publisher, editor, reporter and photojournalist. After retiring from newspaper publishing, my next endeavor was a floral photography business in Cupertino, Calif., where clients, friends and the public in general came to refer to me as, "The Flower Photographer of Silicon Valley."

While flowers are my favorite subject, landscapes are also part of my portfolio. Someday, my art may involve retracing part of the journey of my Great-Great Grandpa Thomas Hill (for whom my middle name of Thomas was chosen). He became famous for his plein air Yosemite Valley paintings. Since relocating to the Northern Nevada desert, where my wife's family has resided since the 1800s, the desert has become one of my subjects as well. More on that to come.
