Hardly anything makes me happier than sharing with others the beauty of the natural world, as well as images of  the amazing people who live in our communities,  Every day, I am energized by the opportunities at my doorstep for both classic landscapes, creative photography, and informal portraits.  A favorite inspiration 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.  I also hope to inspire a quiet and meditative eye in those who view my work.

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