Tranquility and peace. The absolute essence of nature captured through a lens. An extension of the eye, the capture of a moment in time, lost forever, yet not at all. You not only catch that moment in an eternal image, but you somehow capture the emotions, for whenever you look at that picture, you will remember exactly what you thought and felt at that exact moment. It's as if you have etched yourself in that moment. A true photographer not only captures a picture for the world to see, but through his photographs stir up emotions within the viewer, making it a timeless and cherished gift. For a true artist captures not only an image, but a fraction of history.
