Iām a U.S. photographer, and the medium has been my major artistic outlet for nicely over fifty years now.

It’s my best supply of nourishment, peace and inspiration.
A four-mile sand spit is the defining function of a singular park on the Pacific coast at Manzanita, Oregon. Nehalem Bay State Park is a spot of many wonders, the place the sand spit separates the ocean on one aspect from the bay on the opposite.

For numerous years, it has been a favorite place of mine for strolling, photographing and, usually, considering the wonders of the pure world.

For me, these āinventiveā grass patterns show that Nature actually is the consummate artist. The remainder of us merely copy.
