Photographers who Love the Bosque &
Help to Keep It Safe
Photographers Are Friends, too!
Featured Artist Friends:
Jerry Goffe & Wally Newman & Don Boyd
Photographers and Artists play a key role in influencing and enhancing our appreciation of the world. This has been true throughout our past, and now, with our world becoming more fragile and the loss of habitat increasingly more devastating, we see artists and photographers, nature lovers and others joining forces to convey the importance of providing and preserving refuge for those who share our world.
Together, we all try to help! Please join us!

Photographer and Conflict Consultant
In a presentation many years ago, I heard Danaan Parry, author of Warriors of the Heart, say, "The source of all conflict is a desire for intimacy." As a Conflict Consultant I work to help people understand that conflict is a symptom of unmet needs, and a gift if we are willing to face it with courage and curiosity. At the source of all conflict then is our attempt, no matter how feeble or apparently contradictory, to reach "beauty and harmony." I think that Danaan would have said that our desire to know ourselves, to be in union with all things, is what he meant by "intimacy." The paradox seems to be this contradiction between our deepest desire for union and the limited paths our current level of awareness opens us to.
A large part of photography for me is my attempt to resolve these contradictions. When I do it well, I expose myself to what I don't know and the accompanying wonder, joy and fear. At times it seems I am fighting the limits of photographic technology while wrestling with this even deeper itch for something I cannot name. At other times, even with my limited technical skills, all the elements required to create an organic image seem to come together and I am dissolved in the process. That is when I become the symphony of which I and the landscape are a part.
I use medium and large format film cameras as they require me to approach each image deliberately. After color correcting the films to match what I remember seeing, I print on archival papers and canvas using pigmented inks.
