Poetry of Nature
When I was a photojournalist, it was important for me to make photos that were as “true” as possible to the scene and story unfolding in front of me and my camera. Now that I am more a storyteller of nature, I still try to represent the scene and story as honestly as possible. Though, my tools are basically the same: camera, lens, aperture and shutter speed, my attitude, understanding and approach to them have expanded. There is a growing body of my work that I think of as the “Poetry of Nature” compared to my more common prose look at nature. To me, this seems more lyrical and free-flowing because of my use of intentional camera movement (ICM) and a more abstract look at nature. I am still photographing the scene as it was at that time, but as I play with time – ICM – I gain a different understanding of what I am seeing and showing to others.
