"Water Dimensions"...

Water has many sides and dimensions. Oftentimes, we may not even need to look beyond the surface to see another dimension. In this particular photograph, the mix of water mist and the high constrast of sunlight offer a dimension which the shadow of the tree can be seen on the surface of the water.

"Energy in a Flash"...

So far, this is one of my better multi-strike, lightning photographs. There was a time I was a weather chaser, which had placed me in very dangerous predicaments. I've learned many lessons about lightning, to which I don't actively pursue these photographs as often as I used to.

"At the End of the Day"...

Each of us have a different way of reflecting at the end of the day. For some, it's the satisfaction of leaving the world a better place, for others it's just surviving another day in a tractor or jet in the sky. Whichever way, take a moment to appreciate the experiences you had, even if all you experienced was the wind and leaves of a tree.

"Daybreak"...

Imperfection can often be perfection you seek, if you simply appreciate what you are experiencing. - Kelly Shipp

"Shadows of Time"...

The time element of this photograph is the 200-second exposure, but what's interesting is the shadows across the water from the trees behind me. The shadows appear as they were a window into another landscape. Some say, you can't see the forest for the trees, but what if you can see the forest through the water?...
There's much one could say about this photograph. This is another which the more you look, the more you see.

"The Opening"...

Nature has the power to give you a new perspective on life. All you have to do is open your eyes.
