For over three decades I have photographed subjects in the natural world. The splendor of nature speaks to me with a breathless beauty every time I endeavor into the field. Nature photography is not just seeing an image and recording it through a lens. It is a state of awareness and being. As a young man I spent endless hours pouring over wildlife and nature images found in Sierra Club and National Geographic magazines with bated breath. At that time, I thought only handful of people on the planet could produce images like these. I later came to realize as in all art forms there is a Zen to any creative process. When I step out into our nature every leaf or blade of grass has a story to tell. It’s just up to me to take the time to see and hear. Escher has influenced my work, as I am endlessly fascinated with patterns found in Nature and new ways of seeing them.
