This day was amazing as a enormus blanket of clouds uncovered the blue sky. Horseneck is a great place to watch water, sky, and land interact.

While traveling and photographing much of the United States, I’ve been searching for natural symbology, hoping to decode and learn the language of Nature. Making images about these ideas, I am strongly influenced by Native American beliefs. Every so often an image of man made objects sneaks in, to remind me, and inform the work in progress, how our culture has strayed from what is important to our environment and to the indigenous peoples of this continent.

Even in the gray, dark days of winter in Michigan, one can find hidden signs of beauty and life.

The intelligence of Nature and its symbols act as a language that I hope to decode through art.

Many forms, patterns, and designs are in the framework of a dense shot of the woods. The fabric of the natural world reveals ancient truths.

I am the man who took a pencil of fire from the hand of the angel standing in the sun. The photographic process is my chosen tool for depicting Nature, and interpreting its symbols, a very important lesson that many have long forgotten.
