About This Website

This blog is intended to showcase my pictures or those of other photographers who have moved beyond the pretty picture and for whom photography is more than entertainment - photography that aims at being true, not at being beautiful because what is true is most often beautiful..

One of the realities that drives my passion for picturing elements of the natural world is the absolute explosion of life (and decay) that surrounds us.

To my eye and sensibilities, there is beauty everywhere, in even the ugliest of fragments and scenes. There is no need to tart it up with effects and "creative" styles and approaches. What is works wonderfully for me.

Many photographers think they are photographing nature when they are only caricaturing her. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

My favorite quote. I have had it plastered to the back of my camera for the past 6 months or so.
