While drafting this book, it occurred to me that I have spent a decade chasing images that mean something to me. I have a strong need to connect with my subject when I am photographing. I’m not sure if it is the artist inside of me that craves this closeness or if it is a deep seeded love for nature. Whatever it is, I am hooked, and I hope that you will enjoy the ride with me as you read through and view the images in this publication. Please keep in mind, this book is not meant as a how-to book. I do have several how-to books for those wishing to dig deeper.
