ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Photographing Mother Nature

Regardless of what side of the global warming aisle we find ourselves, when it comes to the environment we’ve all experienced Mother Nature at its worst, as well as at its best.

At its best (or should I say at her best) Mother Nature can be dazzling, magnificent, breathtaking and awe-inspiring. Each day we see her beauty in the glorious golden hour light or if we’re lucky, in majestic bows of colors and light arching across the sky. We feel her touch in the summers breeze brushing through our hair or in the salty spray of the ocean landing on our ski.

Mother Nature at its (her) worst is a whole other story. Katrina, Sandy, Maria come to mind, as well as other storms, floods and fires that remain nameless, yet not less devastating.

Sometimes, somewhere in between her worst and her best, we get to witness the powerful Mother Nature in all her everyday glory. The experience helps us reconsider our place on this planet we call home, our relationship with the planet and Mother Nature, and maybe it helps us put things into perspective.

Only when we allow ourselves to get lost in nature and see Mother Nature in action witness her power, rage, as well as her splendor we begin to realize how important it is to respect and protect her.
