Last weekend I had the privilege to not only teach a Photography Seminar and Workshop for the Color the Skies Event in Modesto, California, but also to spend a few days sleeping under the stars in Tuolumne Meadows up in Yosemite National Park. John Muir has always been one of my hero’s when it came to the conservation of nature and like usual, I recently found his words hitting home. These days I find myself all over the globe. By the end of this year I will have worked in Guatemala, Honduras, Haiti, Chile, Argentina and all over the US. In between those trips I usually find myself in front of a computer either editing photography work or working in my new position with one of my sponsors, F-Stop Gear, as the Community and Events Director. The point is that everyone, myself included, needs to take time to get out into nature and enjoy her peace and beauty.
I released this “Ad” for my photography business last year, but felt that it was time to bring it back out and share.

“Keep close to nature’s heart…and break clear away, once in a while,
and climb a mountain or spend a week in the woods. Wash your spirit clean.”
