A Passion for Nature
It is my pleasure and privilege to photograph nature. My photographs are taken with low-impact techniques – never moving or harming anything that I photograph. I don’t bring a tripod because I am afraid that even this might damage fragile landscapes. Nature is a gift, it heals and uplifts the body, mind, and soul. It is as close as our front door. When we see nature and the environment as the precious resource it is, then we will start to treat it with kindness and respect. My dream is to share my passion for nature and to inspire you to join me in projecting and preserving this beautiful planet. There are many ways to help – support a good environmental organization; recycle; buy organic produce; use products made without chlorine; get a hybrid car; use less energy; ride a bike. Most of all, get out and enjoy nature and share what you experience with others. Together we can make a difference. Walk in beauty!
