Landscapes
Alfred Watson’s landscape photographs varied from stately trees to snowy fields to hidden ponds, rivers and valleys. The majority of his landscapes were taken in western Pennsylvania and New York state.
Watson always carried his favorite camera with him just in case a photo opportunity presented itself. One of his favorite locations was Letchworth State Park south of Buffalo which he photographed many times.
