Sometimes I feel that I was born a century or three too late. There are times I feel greatly out of place in this modern world. I have the tendency to resist change, especially technologically. I find great solace out in nature, even if it is just sitting on the front porch watching the sun set or the moon rise. I feel stifled in cities with its incessant drone of traffic, sirens, and most of all, lights. I try to remember to "bloom where I am planted", but some areas are more difficult than others to accomplish this. Consequently, I am most happy in small towns and mountain communities. I love the closeness that small towns give-knowing everyone at the Post Office or the General Store. But, I am a survivor, having lived in Los Angeles, Chicago, and New Orleans. Idaho is a most beautiful state and I am anxious to travel its borders. Long, long ago I once spent a summer in Sandpoint and really connected with the town and the people there. I am certain that I would not recognize it today, but for the lovely glacial lake. Having said that, is it any wonder that my photography relays the beauty of our Earth and the changing of the seasons? It is transcendent for me to be able to visit all these places in my photography and relive the moment. I hope that I can convey these feelings to you.

Namaste'
