As a mindful nature photographer, I listen as well as envision in order to receive the images meant for me. This implies a call and response, a connection to light, to land, to birds and wildlife. Serendipitous experiences in the wild translate into visual stories that ask us only to be true to their essence as we share them. I seek for those who view my work, attend a presentation or accompany me into the field to feel the connections I feel outdoors, and to be inspired to find their own visual and creative languages.
