There is nothing in the world that brings more joy than being surrounded by nature. The beauty and serenity speak to my heart and soul in ways I cannot verbally explain. Therefore, I use my camera to speak for me. When I go out for a shoot, I focus first on places that make me “stop the car”. Places with overall beauty. Once I take in the whole scene, I then refocus on what really draws my eye. Whether it be an animal grazing in an open field, a single tree that stands out because of its branch configuration, or a cluster of leaves on a rock redirecting the flow of a waterfall… The intimate detail that creates the overall beauty. There is so much more to an image than just what you first see. Take a deeper look. Let the piece speak to you. This will begin your relationship with it that will be worth “a thousand words”.
