Description
A Companionable Solitude
The title is taken from Thoreau - "I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers."
I have always loved to go off rambling in the woods with my dog running loose, at times choosing a spot to sit, and listen to the sounds of the wood while I wait. The relaxing sounds of the flowing water, a bird's territorial call, the movement of trees from a breeze settles my mind. The woods can be like the company of a close and trusted friend, when silences are comfortable and no words are needed.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.
I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
