“Much of the process of creating a photograph is in the way I see. My intention is to share that, my own vision of nature. When I take a picture, I experience a moment of true communion with nature which, through the photograph, is transmitted to the viewer. The reflection on the water, the mystery and the sounds of water running feeds my soul and brings me peace; it allows me to access something primordial, and to achieve a sense of meaning, freedom, and belonging, of feeling home and that everything is how it is supposed to be.
