“Give me solitude, give me nature, give me again O nature, your primal sanities”

- Walt Whitman

 

Humanity and nature collide outside my front door. In a world that values multi-tasking, speed and competition, I seek stillness and serenity. Nature is my muse. Through a contemplative process and the passage of time, tranquil imagery is gathered in the midst of noisy and fast paced cities. I actively pay attention in order to gain inspiration and uncover the beauty of nature in my urban environment.
