Photography

“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the world around us, the less taste we shall have for destruction.”

Rachel Carson

I studied photography all through school, but found little time for it amid the demands of an adult work schedule. Then the first pandemic lockdown in 2020 temporarily freed me from the industrial cycle. For the first time since childhood, I realigned my life with nature’s rhythms. With more time to spend outdoors, my long-dormant love of nature photography blossomed again. There’s endless marvels to discover, if I just focus!

For more photos, and the stories behind them, check out the Adventures category of my blog.

A pair of kookaburras sits on a broken tree branch, against a cloud-dappled blue sky. One has its back to the viewer, showcasing azure accent feathers as it looks toward its companion. The second faces forward, fanned tail almost transparent and beak open in a laughing call.

BIRDS

My childhood dinosaur obsession never really left; it just evolved, like the creatures themselves, into a fascination with their modern-day decedents.

WILDLIFE

After five days a week cooped up in an office with grumpy humans, I’m grateful for the company of other animal species!

A view down a long, curved beach fringed with trees. Turquiose waves lick at rocks speckled with orange lichen. Stormclouds wreath the indigo mountains in the distance.

LANDSCAPES

Memorializing Earth’s magnificence to decorate the walls of my survival habitat after it’s all gone.

NATURE

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on katydids (that are probably eating the dang roses).

BLACK & WHITE

While I no longer spend chemical-hazed nights in a darkroom, I retain an artistic affection for monochrome.
