About Weston Westmoreland

Hi there, Born in '72 and shooting pictures since '83, I have concentrated my efforts in Cave Art and Ancient Civilizations. I also enjoy creating panoramic compositions... But not just... Here you will find landmarks, landscapes and cityscapes, ancient ruins and modern buildings, moons and seas, planes and boats, guns and flowers, animals and machines, forests and deserts, vanguard and prehistory, digital and film, color and black & white, graves and newborns, temples, trenches, palaces, castles, tanks, churches, bunkers... However, they have some things in common: they are meaningful images and they are for the most part unique. W. W.
