    YELLOWSTONE Light and Life


    ellowstone is a world beyond our own, emerging from the mists of time as a remnant of days long past. Here, the engines of creation still churn, steaming with all the fury of the gods of old. Once away from the safety of those portions of the park that have been tamed, it becomes a primal world, a kill-or-be-killed world, a world of startling howls and silent predators stalking the night which do not respect the boundaries set by the so-called civilized world of Man. It is a place of deadly inspiration, and a window into the primitive soul of Earth. Every year, I spend several weeks in Yellowstone, searching for a way to capture the hidden essence of this

    wondrous place. Each time I visit, I discover some new aspect of the park that I had missed before, some obscured facet that, when successfully captured by my cameras sensor, emerges to tell a new story about Yellowstone, and helps slowly but surely shape my picture of the whole. More important than the technical and artistic details, however, are the stories that the photographs themselves tell. With any luckand perhaps with a few more visitsmy photos will begin to tell the story of this remarkable place, and evoke the day-to-day struggle for light and life in the wonderful landscape of Yellowstone.
