Details

I am Indigenous, a member of the Mohawk nation, of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy.  I have always possessed an inherent respect and deep appreciation for nature and the wildlife that the Creator has given to us.   

In December 2017, a medical incident changed the course of my life, presenting new challenges and a different outlook on everything around me.  During these past years of recovery, isolation and reflection, I picked up my camera and started on a photographic journey.  While always respectful and in admiration of the wonders of nature, I have developed an even greater appreciation for the beauty of the natural world around us.  I am grateful for all that I have experienced so far in this life and I look forward to the remaining days ahead. 

While the original thought for this site focused entirely on images of landscapes and scenes of nature, I have included sections entitled, "Footprints", "Brick, Stone, Wood and Glass", and "Places", which present photographs of urban scenes, manmade structures, and some natural scenery, from various well-known locations.  

The page entitled, "Reserved", is a collection of photographs from our Indigenous lands, many of them from my home community, captured during visits to various reserves across Canada.  The images show cultural aspects retained by our people and communities as well as evidence of the acceptance and adoption of changes introduced by European influence.

Included with most images are meaningful quotes from well-known historical figures and personalities. 

"In solitude the mind gains strength and learns to lean upon itself."
