Love Urban Nature Series were photographed at dawn in natural direct Sunlight, special effects naturally occurred as energy exchanged between the lens of the Witness, the Sun, and the Observed. I played with the Sunlight's power to illuminate and embrace both the Observer and the Witness, and the Witness' lens' power to magnify and hold Light. A dance was created that exposed core patterns hidden within the elegant universal nature of urban life cycles. As Witness, I used extremely intimate lens proximity to photograph light spontaneously exposing Self. Intimacy revealed nature's ethereal beauty, essential floral life cycle of flourishing contraction and expansion, redefinition and transformation.

Observing true nature within inner silence, and stillness, inspires and instructs sustainability. Everyone's inner world echoes infinitely inbetween and beyond. We all have the right to live the life within us.

I used a small, hand held, NIKON COOLPIX S6. I pushed, the digital technology to max-out the focal length points, depth perception, apertures and exposures ... I got intimate, and before I knew it the flowers were teaching me about Self-contained life.

As new higher ranges of digital resolution become available commercially, I began photographing with a Nikon D800, testing ultra high resolution image reproduction onto Fujicolor Fujiflex Crystal Archive Super Gloss Professional photo-paper made from organic plant cellulose polymers.
