The essence of existence is inherent to all objects in the universe. Living forms also contain a vivifying energy; human beings, able to contemplate and share abstract ideas, manifest an additional force.
The interplay of these forces--a human contemplating the three-way tension of himself examining the relationships between various forms in nature, both the animate and inanimate--results in a kaleidoscope of impressions.
We all live within landscapes. They are as known as the familiar, as inscrutable as the other. The air, the water, the earth contain the elements of ourselves but are themselves inhospitable.
The earth is silent, unchanging and ever-changing. Water pulses, cracks or flows as energy. Light filters through the air through our eyes to our hearts and minds.
Photographs are silent, motionless witnesses. Images dance within them. These pictures are to be looked at over time. They, like the reality of which they are but a shadow, reveal themselves little-by-little. They try to illustrate the heroism of being in all its complexity, the inescapable balance of the inevitable solution. Their aim is the beauty and awe of the experience of living.
