exploring nature’s infinite connections
It's been a bit of a rare occurrence lately where I go to let our dogs out in the morning and am instantly struck by how beautiful it is outside. Like - run inside and grab your camera beautiful out. Even though there have been some nice sunrises this time of year, I...
Thoughts about individualism and community weave in and out of this Leaf Creature series. While their individual characteristics manifest from the physical isolation of the black backgrounds and unique shapes, they will always be connected functionally to the mother...
Working on this photograph today brought all sorts of thoughts into my head. First, it was - this was a cool place, I should go back there. Then I think - wait - I made this exposure 9 years ago, and am only getting to it now. Shouldn't I catch up with my backlog...
