ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Late, just before the St Peter's Square is closed, I placed my camera on the floor to capture this dramatic angle of the square. With warning a cacophony of wings and chirping erupted behind me from before the square. Having seen this once already I adjusted my camera to higher iso and faster speed to capture the birds flying over the square. Its a magical moment when it seems as if the sky is capped above you where it was previously endless.

AUTHOR
Photography began as a means of solving the “no picture, no proof” argument when I used to do solo backcountry hiking in Alaska. I was stationed at Eielson AFB at the time. Since then it’s bloomed, wintered, and bloomed again. I now define my photography within two distinct veins: Comfortable Isolation and the Personification of Nature. In short, I search for scenes of quiet isolation where we can re-engage our ego and, in that discussion, enable personal growth. I am also in search of hints of Nature in her ethereal form. Whether it be the shape of a woman in a wave as in the piece “Her;” trees that look alive as in the piece, “Dance;” or a great bird riding the waves as in the piece, “Pacing the Sun.” Feel free to ask me to define either of these at length.
