QUOTES THAT INSPIRE:

Galen Rowell…. “I revere the great natural scenes that have passed before my eyes as the core experiences that center my being, whether or not I have a chance to photograph them. I sense them as vastly superior to any form of artificial visual input that seeks to imitate them.”

Ansel Adams…. “No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit.”

Freeman Patterson…. “Seeing, in the finest and broadest sense, means using your senses, you intellect, and your emotions. It means encountering your subject matter with your whole being. It means looking beyond the labels of things and discovering the remarkable world around you.

MY JOURNEY:

I began my photographic journey thirty three years ago…..Maybe someday that journey will end….But for now what a creative learning experience…………………………
