A Photonaturalist’s Sense of Wonder

My work is inspired by my training as a Texas Master Naturalist, a passion for the natural world, and by Rachel Carson’s book The Sense of Wonder. A sense of wonder, she wrote: “…so indestructible that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantments of later years, the sterile preoccupation with things that are artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength”

My photography explores my own sense of wonder and hopefully  can inspire others to find and nurture their sense of wonder as well.

I describe myself as a photonaturalist rather than a nature photographer because I do more than take photos of nature. I study the natural world and find art in the intersection between the light and the living world.

I hope these images spark your sense of wonder with nature as well.
