Hardly anything makes me happier than sharing the beauty of the natural world, as well as the amazing people who live in our communities, with others.  Every day, I am amazed by the opportunities at my doorstep for both classic landscapes, creative photography, and informal portraits.  One of my favorite inspirations are these words from a poem by William Wordsworth:

"[W]ith an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things."

I aspire to quiet my eye in order to see into, and capture with my photography, the life of things around me.

My portrait was taken by photographer Marty Katz. You can see more of his wonderful work at: http://martykatz.com
