The Enlightened One
As I continue on with my photography journey, I continue to evolve more and more with each image. I evolve as a person, I evolve as an observer of light, I evolve as an artist. My pursuit to be the best I can be never stops. It keeps me motivated. Just knowing there is so much potential within ourselves is astonishing. The journey has been long, but meaningful in every way. The camera has opened my eyes in so many different ways it’s unimaginable. Some of the locations I’ve photographed don’t even seem real. Landscapes that you would read in a fairytale or see in a motion picture. It’s hard to believe these landscapes even exist.
With my latest series of images
I feel tells a small story about the bald cypress tree. Each tree has its own character, and it’s own story. The bald cypress tree is a long lived tree that is native to the Mississippi Valley, Southeastern regions of the United States and extends northward to the mid Atlantic states. Out of all of the collections that I’ve put together over years, this one is one of my favorites. For me, there’s something about these unique trees that speak to me. The cypress tree has a very unique look, and when you combine this special tree with the swamp landscape and all of the swamp’s eerie/mysterious look, it’s makes for fascinating imaging. It is strikingly beautiful, and a place where you have complete solitude. The feeling of being alone, in this quiet and daunting environment is something that one would have to experience for themselves to really understand where I’m coming from. It’s a feeling like no other. This is why I love what I do. It’s going into the unknown, being uncomfortable and adjusting to the surroundings that you’re not use to. It’s a mental test. You vs. the landscape. Are you prepared to wade through muddy murky waters with alligators and snakes around? It’s all real...it’s nature. It’s uncomfortable, it’s different, it’s challenging, it’s all the elements that you’re not use to while photographing. But that’s part of the journey.....the evolution of self.
Before I end this, please take your time to view the images. There’s so many little subtle details that one will over look if you just breeze through them. Get a cup of coffee or cup of tea, open up the light box and view the images on full screen and just chill, and enjoy your visual experience. Also, I want to thank everyone that has supported my work over the years. I greatly appreciate it. You guys are awesome. Peace and love to everyone one out there, shoot for yourself, continue to evolve, and see you guys in 2018. Happy Holidays.
