I am an observer of nature, seeking answers from the trees. Trees show strength and character, even under the most adverse conditions. But, they can also be fragile and submit to the pressures that surround them. These images personify the emotions and respect that I have for these old sages. Pinhole photography captures a certain mystery and mood that can't be duplicated with a lens-based camera.
