I have always been fascinated by the beautiful things created by the intersection of color and light. It could be the incredible detail and variation found in a bird’s feathers, the delicate symmetry in a flower’s springtime bloom, the golden hour before a shoreline sunset, the reflection of light off the surface of the water, the sadness of paint peeling on an abandoned building, or the complex colors created by rust on an old dock. I look for all of these things and attempt to capture the moment with my camera. For me, capturing these moments reveals the beauty and exquisiteness of life itself. Nothing brings me more joy, more peace, and more fulfillment than photographing the beauty surrounding me and sharing what becomes revealed with my camera. Given the ugly times that we live in today, I believe it is critical for all of use to take the time to see, feel, and savor the glorious color and light and loveliness of our world. It’s there waiting for us to see it.
