I’ve been photographing for most of my life but became serious about photography when I went to Tanzania in 2009. While there I was asked to photograph for one of the safari resorts that have luxurious tent facilities in different safari parks throughout Tanzania. They wanted updates for their website.
Since then I continue to travel the world with my wife, Jane Ingram Allen. She is an artist, blogger, critic and curator. I am normally under contract to take photos of her art and projects that she curates and completes while doing residencies. There is also time for me to photograph subjects of my own interest. Besides the U.S.A., I’ve photographed extensively in Asia and Europe and South America.
I’m particularly interested in landscape, street and documentary photography. Although when I’m at car and airplane shows I’m particularly interested in shapes and design.
I photograph with a Canon 70D with a 16 to 300 mm Tamron lens. I also have a Sigma 18-200, a Canon 50mm 1.8 lens and Canon 18-55mm. However,the Tamron lens is my workhorse.
My photographs have appeared in numerous newspapers, art magazines, calendars and books. All the images in the book “Made In Taiwan” by Jane Ingram Allen are my images.
I had a one person exhibition at Hsuiping University in 2008, entitled “Tanzania and Taiwan: A View of Two Countries from One Pair of Eyes”. In May of 2014 I had a one person exhibition titled “Landscapes by Timothy S. Allen” held at Kun Shan Technical University, Tainan, Taiwan. This exhibition largely focused on my work from a three month stay on the central coast of Oregon. Here is the link to that exhibition https://allentimphotos2.wordpress.com/exhibitions/
I continue to show in group exhibitions and competitions. I’m an active member of the Santa Rosa Photographic Society. The Society is a member of the Northern California Council of Camera Clubs.
I was blown away with your work. You are an accomplished artist! I too am a retired teacher. Early childhood for me… Where education begins!

I see you notice the subtle things in life, in addition to the not so subtle. You must be in the moment much of the time with your camera. That’s how I feel. I love the way you capture interactions between people! ~Sherry

It is nice to be retired. It allows you to do so much more or less.
