Personal Background

In September 2002, I took a digital photography course that was conducted in and around Yellowstone National Park. I really do not know why I took the course. At a conscious level, I wanted to become a better photographer and Yellowstone seemed like a good place to start. But I also had a nagging sense that there were also reasons beyond the level of my consciousness. It was as if there was a suppressed level of awareness within me that was struggling to get free. I am not sure that I left that workshop a better photographer, but there is now something beginning to stir within me that has been too long asleep. In order to better understand what was happening, I knew that I must give these evolving thoughts and feelings the opportunity for expression. That is what this web site is all about. It is a vehicle that forces me do what I might otherwise procrastinate; that is to reflect on and attempt to bring into a higher level of consciousness what I refer to as

“an awakening within”

Why would you be interested in this awakening in me? Maybe you are not. This website is really not about you, it is about this feeling inside me. But while my intention may be selfish, I would surely be honored if my thoughts and images somehow inspire something within you to also begin to stir.
