Your Bio

Digital Nature Photography from the American West, and Other Beautiful Places

A Celebration of the essence of Nature, the Human Spirit, and the Divine in All


Welcome to Inner-Light-Images!
These pages contain the best of my work since 2003 - mostly from the American West. The majority of the images hail from Southern Oregon, but Arizona, California, Washington, Utah and the rest of Oregon are also represented. There will soon be a small collection from the Indonesian Island of Bali as well.


You will find a wide variety of photographs, ranging from macro (closeup) to landscapes. Flowers and insects have a strong attraction for me, and I can never resist the beauty of water in its many forms.


Nature's Gift
In times of need, Mother Nature has been a place of nurturing solace, and her beauty has always fed my soul. Her wild and peaceful places have often helped me shed the unnatural stresses of modern culture and find peace again.


As separate as we may feel, we are still a part of her. It is my hope that humanity will fully awaken to the truth the indiginous cultures have always known. In the words attributed to Chief Seattle:


"This we know - the Earth does not belong to man - man belongs to the Earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood which unites one family. All things are connected.


"Whatever befalls the Earth - befalls the sons of the Earth. Man did not weave the web of life - he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."


If you love the Earth, appreciate her beauty, or would like to heal a heavy heart, you will probably enjoy this brief article: Nature's Attraction.
