NUANCES IN NATURE
“It is my sincere hope that my images introduce a world that people may overlook: the intricate nuances of natural forms. When delving into the visual dewdrops, veins of leaves, and seedpods of strange plants, I try to awaken our tastes for wanting to see their beauty in detail. It is with up-close exploration that connects me deeply with our precious natural world. I believe that within a dewdrop the oceans reside. I explore these delicate fragments of nature as abstract forms of art.”

My favorite photographic medium is to print and to display my photos on canvas. The textured surface brings out the very detailed version of what I see when shooting. While laying the in the grass to observe a flower or shape of a blade of grass, I try to bring that to the forefront for others to see. While I was perched on a rugged cliff overlooking the sea, I photographed a Marine Iguana’s leg and claws in order to show off its gorgeous textured skin. I love submerging myself part way under water in order to highlight the effervescent colors of the mangroves, the streams and lakes. I can see things that the naked eye cannot. I can capture in that instance a color or light source that will be gone in the next blink of an eye.
I become my camera and the images reflect my respect and love for nature. My greatest wish is for these images to open a world that people overlook. I explore the intricate nuances of natural forms by allowing the camera’s lens to awaken our tastes for wanting to see the inner beauty in detail.
