ENTRY DESCRIPTION
My son and I were exploring the sand dunes in Death Valley, CA. He was eager to get out as far as he could but my back was hurting too much to go with him. I stayed behind while he went out on his own. As I watched him through my lens, I thought it a perfect metaphor for a young man striking out on his own journey in life with his father's blessing.

AUTHOR
Darrel Giesbrecht is an amateur photographic artist living in Lake Country, British Columbia. He sees all of life as sacred, as inter-connected - as Creation. His artistic vision and creative process attempts to gratefully celebrate all of life and nature as meaningful, wonder-ful, and significant, whether it is grand and flamboyant or whether it is plain and simple, whether it is noticed by the many or whether it is not noticed at all. His goal is to, in some way, direct the observer beyond the medium back into the heart and mind where different ways of seeing and understanding are processed. Artistic expression must touch the human spirit in journey, perhaps change the human spirit, must raise awareness of things that matter, or it remains as an unsprouted seed in the ground, as purely aesthetical rather than aesthetically pure.
