“For thirty years I have photographed the beauty and mystery of the
natural world - its elemental and sometimes terrifying aspects,
its silence, its persistence. To immerse viewers in a visceral and sensual
contemplation of nature and our place within it, I have photographed
gardens, cultivated fields, swimmers, jet contrails, the twilight zone in
caves, blossoming trees, dramatic skies, and the ground level kingdom
of things that creep and crawl. I photograph with an ever deepening
appreciation for how this place shapes us, even as we shape it with our passage.
