WALLY BARKLEY
Wally is a life long resident in the Boyne City area of Charlevoix County.
His interest in photography led him to the Charlevoix Photography Club 10 years ago and he attributes much of his success to the club and many of its members.
He has attended many photography workshops across the county from some of the best known instructors such as Gary Hart, John Gerlach, John Putnam and Jim Kay who were beneficial in his photography goals.
His passion is pursing the perfect photograph through the lens of his camera, with attention to clarity, color and sharpness. In the field he can be found climbing over, wading through, or laying on ice, water, mud or whatever stands between his camera and capturing the perfect image that represents our natural beauty of Northern Michigan.
