Description

This photograph is of a two month baby elephant, named Lily, cuddling next to her mother. I am conflicted about zoos in general, but feel the Portland Zoo does a fairly good job of trying to create nice habitats for their animals. They are currently expanding the area for elephants. The area the mother and baby elephant were in currently looked like a jail. I had to shoot through bars. But this is a temporary place to keep them safe from the other elephants and to provide public viewing.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures, textures or brushwork.

I currently reside in Oregon, an environment rich in nature's graces. I have lived in California and New York, too, and everywhere there is a world of beauty around us, if we care to take the time and look for it.
