Monarch Stone International is passionate about stone, so when we discovered this exceptional collection by photographer Kirk Kegel at Rock Art Pics, we wanted to share his unique and beautiful imagery of natural stone in the form of rock art photography.
We initially met Kirk many years ago when our youngest became hooked on rocks – all kinds of rocks. Thankfully through Boy Scouts and a local rock and mineral club; South Orange County Gem & Mineral Society (SOCGEMS.org), we learned about mineralogy and gemology and our son was provided a really great hands-on experience.
Kirk has since gone on to combine passion for rocks and gems with his incredible talent in photography. Capturing the beauty in a rock the way he does, is quite simply – magical. Take a look at an ordinary slice of a Brazilian Agate geode, which becomes “The Big Wave”.
The amazing variety of colors and forms in these photographs present a unique conversation piece and design element. They appear as a paintings to the untrained eye, like the one below, “Ocean Window” which is rhyolite with a stunning blue agate inside.
These images from the earth, found in natural stone, gems, fossils, and plants, are available as fine art giclee prints and canvas wraps by visiting Kirk Kegel Photography’s website and if you are in the local area, Designs By Nature in San Clemente.
Have a ‘rocking’ week…..
