Years ago, the frantic pace of modern life began to catch up with me. I was feeling disconnected, adrift in a swirling current of deadlines, pressures, and obligations. I'd lost touch with the things that mattered, and photography saved me.  Taking these pictures allowed me to re-connect with nature, wildlife, and the beauty that surrounds us.   I've had amazing experiences, made life-long friends, and seen things that have made my life so much richer.  Hopefully, these images can inspire you to seek out beauty and joy as well!
