Moment by moment, glimpse after glimpse…

we are constantly being given opportunities to see the world as it is, in all its depth and simplicity. These photographs capture those times when the grandness of the world is punctuated by moments of stillness and clarity.

Each photograph shown here offers a direct solution to the problem of seeing – create a moment, a period, in the middle of a scene so that your eye stops moving and your mind stops thinking it knows what it’s seeing. In that moment we are offered the opportunity of capturing the true nature of reality, and the reality of nature. When the story line pauses, there lies the beauty and grandeur of the moment.

Stop. Look. And see, maybe for the first time, the gaps that open the door to true understanding and to the amazing world of which we are an integral part.
