Description
Saw-Whet Owl. I often explore the banks of the river. On this particular evening I walked upon this little fella, perched in a thicket, not ten feet away.
Rio Grande River, New Mexico. One of the most intense of our feathered friends.
My work is rooted in my experience in nature. As an outdoor enthusiast, rock climber, adventure motorcycle rider, SCUBA Dive Master and Instructor, kayaker, Swift Water Safety Instructor and a whitewater river guide, I have found myself in some pretty amazing places. Having a camera in hand is perhaps the only way that "they" would believe me. It could be a iphone, a simple point and shoot or my Nikon . The challenge for me has been learning how to use my gear and knowing its potential. I utilize digital processing to enhance what is already there. Striving to find a balance between the physical and its essence. The natural wonder that I feel in the outdoors reminds me of my childhood musings, where my sense of adventure was free from erroneous limitations, where there were no rules. It is this sense of play that I share via my photographs.
