I am fascinated by natural form, especially abstract, dynamic and chaotic forms such as volcanic rocks, ocean waves, tree bark, the play of light on creeks.
I am also fascinated by the diversity of plants and animals. I go on a nature hike almost every morning, and love to watch and record animals' intelligent and responsive behavior from day to day.
I never cease to be amazed how impressively animals and plants are adapted to their environment, and how amazingly beautiful and skilled they are.
Photography is a part of my religious practice: it allows me to focus intensely on the beauty that surrounds us, to see things that are too fleeting for the human eye to perceive, and to study the finer details that we so often overlook.
