• The Layers of Perception: A Photographic Journey in Norway

  

  Little by little and step by step. The picture unfolds its mysteries. For there, within, experience speaks. Wordless. To each perception a perspective’s bias. To each perspective, a bias in perception.

• Nature’s Transformative Powers: Water and Ice

  

  Through aiming to tame the wilderness of my experiences, I discover untapped perceptions that open the vistas of my heart and mind. This in turn affects, and effects, my interpretation of life’s happenings, freeing me to see beyond the unseeable, touch the intangible, and appreciate the immensity of transformational powers.
