STATEMENT

 

 

Landscape is a construct. Like nature, what we call landscape is "defined by our

vision and interpreted by our minds." landscape encompasses both scenery and

environment but is equivalent to neither. As D.W. Meinig put it, "Environment

sustains us as creatures; landscape displays us as cultures."

Photographer Statement

Specializing in Landscape Photography, I have been photographing in the

Western United States for over thirty years. My photographic journey has been in

search of the magnificent and unique features of the land. The earth is composed

of a natural community of elements that interact with each other and light. This

natural relationship has been the main focus of my photographic work. Much has

been written about the changing landscape, the destruction of the land and

man's relationship to the natural order. In my work I have tried not only to pay

respect to the natural order and beauty of the earth but also to show reason for

its preservation.
