"I'm addicted to taking photos and to the beauty of Vermont. I have tons of 'pretty pictures.' There is nothing wrong with that, but I started thinking about some of my other images: fungi, decay, pollution, the underside of things, the harshness of winter. And you know what? It is all beautiful! Beauty, art, and creativity must be important because they surround us. While the functional items made by humans may hit the mark occasionally, everything in nature is beautiful for no apparent reason. So, I've come full circle. I'll continue taking pretty pictures but with an eye toward the shadows as well as the light."
"Water is life. It's what makes this place unique. Water nourishes. It heals; it cleanses. It has power and majesty, yet there's nothing so gentle as a drop of dew. Water also dances and plays. I love to watch the relationship between water and light, whether it is in reflections, rainbows, mist, or frozen crystals. When I pick up my camera, I get to join in the quiet game, to be part of the timeless dance. For a split second all else disappears, and it's just light, the water and me. What more could one ask?"
