Noticing Beauty

Life is full of difficulty, ugliness, horrific pain, and also light, splendor, and joy. Pain is often a powerful focus, and noticing goodness can take effort and practice. Beauty is all around me all the time, but yet I often forget to notice it.

These landscape photographs are a witness of the natural world. In an effort to focus on the fleeting beauty when it comes, I use photography as a tool to capture moments of awe, it helps remind me to pause and notice all the goodness around me. My experiences with these places greatly moved me and these photographs are a reminder of the loveliness of this earth. Seeing these beautiful places can lift me out of times of great suffering and turn my focus towards inspiration and awe.
