About My Photography

My photography offers an invitation to enter into a mystical world of color, light, shadows, movement and deep emotions - a place that lives inside each one of us and is reflected in nature.

I've always seen images in nature. These images speak to the creative force of the elements -- the intimate dance of water, wind, earth and fire. Nature is the canvas on which the Master Craftsman displays His handiwork. Beauty exists in nature and within each of us, patiently awaiting our discovery. We only need the willingness to take a closer look.

Favorite Quotes

Live the Questions Now...I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer." ~ Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903, Letters to a Young Poet

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn; a bird waits in the egg; and in the highest vision of the soul, a waking angel stirs. Dream are the seedlings of realities. ~ James Allen

And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. ~ Anais Nin

A soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone. ~ Johann von Goeth

Let us be silent that we may hear the whisper of God. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson

Go out into the darkness and put your hand into the hand of God. That shall be more to you than a light and safer than a known way. ~ Minnie Louise Harkins

My profession is always to be alert, to find God in nature, to know God's lurking places, to attend to all the oratorios and the operas in nature. ~ Henry David Thoreau

You will find something more in woods than in books. Trees and stones will teach you that which you can never learn from masters. ~ Saint Bernard

Butterfly Quotes

"Happiness is like a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you." ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne
"May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun And find your shoulder to light on, To bring you luck, happiness and riches Today, tomorrow and beyond." ~Irish Blessing
"I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man." ~~Chang-Tzu
"Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower." ~~Hans Christian Anderson
Just like the butterfly, I too will awaken in my own time. ~Deborah Chaskin
