Holding On

Personal

We sometimes forget how vital the natural landscape is to enhancing the stories of our lives. Holding On is a personal collection of memories that have spanned the last three years of my personal photographic journey. Each one of the images displayed represents a specific moment in time that I wish never to forget. Each photograph is infused with the excitement I felt for the place and the love I have for my travel companions.

Please take a few moments to enjoy these images and remember how important the natural world is to our collective soul. I hope these images will bring you joy and peace and you are able to escape into their beauty for a few moments. Come; take a journey with me.

This gallery has been shown at the Bean There Cafe in Chesapeake, Virginia; Virginia Beach General Hospital Healing Gallery, Virginia; and at Passion Restaurant in Chesapeake, Virginia.

Bell Ringers

Ansel Adams:

"A great photograph is one that fully expresses what one feels, in the deepest sense, about what is being photographed."

Motto of the Baltimore Grotto:

Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but footprints.
Kill nothing but time.

Minor White:

"Often while traveling with a camera, we arrive just as the sun slips over the horizon of a moment, too late to expose film, only time enough to expose our hearts."

Native American Proverb:

"We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children."
