Helen's Pond, Newfields, New Hampshire:

I have enjoyed the Pond over many years, as it has consistently presented dramatic views of a unique quiet eco-system. From seasonal color shifts to changes in wildlife habitation, this special place never seems to disappoint. Ever changing, the landscape forever remakes its structurally angular base to compositionally balance shape, space and light within this natural environment.

  Islands: Caladesi, Iceland, Bailey, Mount Desert

I have been working over the last few years, on a series of images created at a number of environmentally and geographically distinct island locations. They are not photo-journalistic but instead visual notations reflective of the individuality of each area. I have concentrated on Iceland, which is an active volcanic island (country) continuing to experience the movement of tectonical plates and the interaction of a subterranean hotspot or mantle plume; Bailey Island in Maine, which shows remnants of continental drift and is continually beaten and shaped by the Atlantic Ocean; Mount Desert Island in Maine with what apear to be fresh scars left by receding glaciers; and Caladesi Island in Florida, which is a barrier island in the Gulf of Mexico, constantly being recreated by weather driven shifting sands.
The images capture an ancient view in "today's" light, but ultimately, each image is a world unto itself.
