Endearing Journey Photography

"I love Nature partly because she is not man, but a retreat from him. None of his institutions control or pervade her. There a different kind of right prevails. In her midst I can be glad with an entire gladness. If this world were all man, I could not stretch myself, I should lose all hope. He is constraint, she is freedom to me. He makes me wish for another world. She makes me content with this." -Henry David Thoreau

"We need the tonic of wildness… At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature." -Henry David Thoreau.

A couple of sunrise images from a recent trip to North Carolina. I know I haven't kept up with posting and that has a lot to do with long days at the day job, but I'll be back to my regular scheduled programming here over the next few weeks.

"To me, photography is an art of observation. It's a out finding something interesting in an ordinary place... I've found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." Elliot Erwitt
