Framing the Vision: From Landscapes to Soundscapes

For the first time, I’m facing the monumental task of culling over 1,700 landscape and nature photos.

Our epic journey west to four National Parks ended on September 19, and by the 22 we were back home in western PA. I hope to have my selection of “keeper” photos completed sometime soon.

I’ve culled hundreds of wedding photos before, but deleting landscapes, wildlife, and the raw grandeur of Badlands, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, and Glacier feels like erasing memories themselves.

The beauty we saw defies words. If you’ve ever stood in a National Park, you know that feeling — the impossible task of translating vast horizons and wild silence into language.

Once I’ve chosen my best images, the next step is shaping them with my artistic vision — a skill I’m still learning, still refining. That same vision will also flow into my music, as I compose, record, and produce in my home studio.

I’m an aging artist, framing both sound and image, chasing the vision of making everything I create more impactful for you — the viewer, the listener.
