As a retired professor of world religions, I've finally had the time to indulge my love of wilderness photography and writing. I write fiction (the ongoing Yeshua's Cats series, and a new series, the Miranda Lamden Mysteries--see clfrancisco.com). My photos are almost always attempts to capture the elusive mystery lying beyond the screen of the natural world. I also create digital mosaics from my images and classic paintings (www.zazzle.com/earth_mosaics and www.cafepress.com/earthmosaics).
