Ansel Adams once said, "I believe that the artist and his art are only a part of the total human experience; the viewer in the world at large is the essential other part. I feel that a true work of art is like nothing else in the world. It is not essential to know how the artist thinks or how he believes he relates to his profession or his society. What he creates is his message. For me a work of art does not cry for comprehension, only for the reaction at the level of art itself."

My hope is that everyone who views these images would feel a sense of pleasure and wonder by what they see - that it would speak to their heart and the impact would give them a greater appreciation for this beautiful world; everyone and everything in it.
