 About the Photos

I am interested in photographing landscapes where the bones of the earth are revealed, where there are big skies and wild animals moving freely, and where sunlight etches the features of the land.  I am also interested in the sacred places where its ancient aboriginal man’s relationship with the land can still be seen.  Many of these places are vanishing forever, just in the time that I have been on the planet.  With these photographs, I hope to convey the sense of place and the extraordinary beauty, history and fragility of our Earth.

My photographs are large format color landscape images, some panoramas, printed on cotton rag paper.   I have travelled the world in search of landscapes that are wild, spiritual and ancient, and that speak to me in an ineffable and timeless voice.  These places connect me, with their compelling beauty, the deep silence, sweet scents, light and shadow, to a sense that god is present in nature, and that nature is a powerful and dominant force.  My photographs include images of rare ecosystems on top of Mount Kenya, dreamtime rock art in remote Cape York, Australia, sunrise on the islands of the Sea of Cortez, shamanic petroglyphs in Wyoming, mists in the Hoh Rainforest, rainstorms over Canyonlands, Masai villages, and ancient granaries in the Grand Canyon.
