What is Life?

This is the question asked and answered in Crowfoot's last words.

What is Life?

It is the flash of a firefly in the night.

It is the breath of the buffalo in the winter time.

It is the little shadow which runs across the grass

and loses itself in the Sunset.

      -Crowfoot


It is the essential question that creates passion in me for using the camera as tool to collect natural history in images and think about and connect the gifts from my journey.  To construct a  whole from the bits and pieces that I encounter.  

Seeing Nature

These writings were inspired by many incredible people: Aldo Leopold, Sigurd Olson, Ernest Oberholtzer, and many others.
