| I’ve considered myself an urban photographer
for most of my career. Concrete, steel, glass and wood for the most part.
But a few years ago I began to take note of the interplay between the
urban and the natural environment. That, in turn, led me to taking more
notice of the natural environment in and of itself.
Most of the images in this portfolio were taken in the
fall. This is a time not only of color and beauty, but also a time when
we are reminded of the fragile nature of life as the foliage goes about
its dance with death and dormancy . It is a time of beauty and contemplation,
of transition and preparation. There is a special radiant quality to
the daylight as the sun sinks lower and lower into the sky. The color
in the northern sky has a depth and saturation to it that adds resonance
to the already full palette of colors here on the ground. These photos
are metaphors for the beauty and fragility of life, and a reminder of
the stages we all must pass through.
