In our world, subtlety is an endangered species.

Immediacy usurps contemplation. The instant replaces the transcendent.

Under such circumstances, we often assume that connecting to spirituality demands a physical retreat from the world. In Seasons Of The Moon, with words and images, I have tried to build a small retreat for the seeking soul.

Photography is a wonderful medium to prepare the mind for abstract thought, for although a photograph is always of something, it has a power to suggest something beyond its literal meaning; it can open the mind to a state where deeper ideas and concepts may be admitted.

The corollary of that process is poetry; for poetry distills an idea into its most potent form, revealing the essential through the particular. A poem leaves us with a feeling both as specific and as abstract as a photograph.

I hope my work finds favor in the Eyes of He Who gives sight to the sightless and to all those who may visit here.
