<strong>Beyond</strong> the <strong>Lens</strong> PhotoJournal | Issue 2- Fall/Winter 2010<br />
Welcome to the second issue of the <strong>Beyond</strong> the <strong>Lens</strong> Photo Journal, where I share special images, thoughts, quotes, and my<br />
passion for nature and photography.<br />
For the best<br />
experience, please<br />

My travels over the past year have allowed me to photograph in a wide variety of locations, some familiar, and many new. For me<br />
the location where a photograph is made is of much less importance than whether an images creates a feeling in the viewer.<br />
Perhaps due to my own feelings and<br />
experiences, these are often my most successful<br />
images. Without inspiration, I am just taking<br />
pictures, where the scene is presented at face<br />
value. But when a special moment occurs, that is<br />
when I feel I am truly creating something new<br />
and worthwhile.<br />
So much of my time time is spent exploring,<br />
discovering, and really becoming intimate with<br />
nature and the many ways it teaches me to be<br />
patient, observant, and humble. I’ve learned this<br />
is time well spent - I know of no other way to feel<br />
more alive.<br />
Take a moment to come closer to nature, feel<br />
good about life, and appreciate the simple<br />
miracles happening each and every day.<br />

“The true gestation period of a photograph is not the seconds, or<br />
fractions of seconds, of exposure, but rather the years the photographer<br />
has spent on a journey that is both physical and intellectual before<br />
reaching the point when the shutter was opened.” -David Ward<br />

Skyscapes, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia<br />
Clouds are the soul of the sky, and with special light can completely transform a scene into moment of introspection, humility, and<br />
sheer joy. Such are the feelings I felt while I waited in the early morning hours on the rocky shores of Cape Breton. I have rarely felt the<br />
soul stirred this way, but it was both memorable and fortuitous...a reminder of how good it is to be alive.<br />

Song of the Sea, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia<br />
We are on this earth for a brief moment, yet there is so much to appreciate in the simple yet powerful motion of the sea at the shore.<br />
Slowing down time is a favorite technique for me, and here I have tried to describe visually what happens over minutes, hours, days<br />
and months. When viewed through a different perspective, we can appreciate how important our time is, and how little time we can<br />
afford to waste away from beauty and serenity.<br />

“Music is an avenue that enlivens my feelings. It feeds, it nourishes my emotional system. And if I have that, as my assistant,<br />
then what I see takes on something from the heart." - Paul Caponigro<br />

Morning Light, Hudson Valley<br />
Simplicity is one of the key elements I try to achieve in every image. I had visualized this scene for many months, but my attempts at capturing it<br />
always seemed to elude me. On this particular morning, I tried once again, making the long hike from the river up to this barren rock and was greeted<br />
by light, moment, and sheer joy.<br />

“A well-rehearsed performance will<br />
go without a hitch. An explorer seeks<br />
the hitches, because hitches are the<br />
fissures and chasms that help us leap<br />
forward.”- Seth Godin<br />
