William Ames lives and works in State College, Pennsylvania, and has a bachelor's degree in English from the Pennsylvania State University. In his spare time, hiking, travel and photography create an enjoyable mix of memories and images in lasting photos.
A small town at the very center of Pennsylvania, State College owes most of its culture to Penn State University, for which it derives its name. Mr. Ames is a Life Member of the Penn State Alumni Association.
Mr. Ames captures memories of landmark images such as Penn State's Mount Nittany, and campus, national and state parks, historic sites and more. He uses fresh angles and modern techniques to achieve more realistic photographs than traditional methods can achieve.
With some of the best hiking and scenery in the state, there are many opportunities to create lasting images from nature. The Mid State Trail, a favorite subject, is close to State College, and the many hours Mr. Ames spends roaming the hills for photographs is time captured for all to enjoy. Many historical sites, such as Gettysburg National Battlefield Park are within driving distance of Central Pennsylvania and offer reflective studies on history.
Mr. Ames' commercial clients include The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, Bank of America, Nittany Bank and Adelphia Communications.
