SPIRIT SERIES: Limited Edition Fine Art 25 images Created 21 Jun 2021

The SPIRIT SERIES is a collection of images that hold a special meaning for me. Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, where I captured the majority of these images, teem with life. You can feel a vibrant energy all across these parks, from the expansive plains and jagged mountain ranges, to the rushing rivers and lush forests. Here, in the wilderness, there’s something different about the air. It’s alive. And the wildlife has called this place home for centuries. This land has stories to tell. It has a soul itself. If we listen — if we can still ourselves long enough to take it all in — we can hear what it has to say.
Limited Edition, Composite Photography on Metal. Each piece signed and numbered.

  • "Lord Of The Plains": The plains of this country are his. They have been his for centuries. He is as connected to the earth as the waving grass, the deep-rooted trees, and the mountains that stand tall before him. He is a living, breathing piece of history.<br />

  • "399": She is powerful and relentless, like the wild itself. But she exudes warmth and compassion, too. Her eyes speak her kind truth, and in them, you sense her purpose. She leaves behind her a legacy of spirits just like her own: Determined. Strong. Loving.<br />

  • "Frosty Morning": True silence in nature is hard to come by: The wind in the branches, the frost crackling on the ground, the resounding call of birds in the trees. But here, there is a kind of solitude you cannot find anywhere else. As the morning fog envelops the path before you, you feel the peace that replaces the silence.<br />

  • "Bugler": The male elk’s bugle doesn’t always invite a mate. It can instead invite a battle for dominance. And still, he calls out, with the resolve to meet whatever comes next. Determined, strong, and ready.<br />

  • "Guiding Spirit": The golden light of the morning works a different kind of magic than the midday sun. It can serve as an intention, a promise for a new beginning. Faced with the challenge of surviving the season before him, the elk basks in the morning sun. He doesn’t know what tomorrow will bring, or whether he’ll feel the sun on his back. So, on this morning, he pauses in its rays, and revels in the warmth of its promise.<br />

  • "Searching": Her mission is simple: She needs only to survive. These untamed, preserved lands provide her with the resources she needs to thrive, but it’s not an easy existence. Each day, she endures the elements with the hope of seeing the start of tomorrow. She carries on, searching, purposefully wandering, surviving.<br />

  • "Ancient Spirit": The ground beneath you has stories to tell, stories that are older than you can fathom. It has its own secrets, its own fables and memories. When you plant yourself on this earth, you can feel it: The spirit of what has stood here before you.<br />

  • "When Buffalo Fly": Watching a bison catapult his 2,000 pounds into action reminds you of your feeble human strength. In this moment, as you witness his disarming strength and agility, you understand why he and his herd rule this land.<br />

  • "Wilderness Calling": The elk’s bugle can be heard miles away. His call echoes from the foothills of the mountain, ricochets off of branches, until it meets you where you stand. You, a visitor, in his home.<br />

  • "Blondie": She is not soft or gentle, despite her kind eyes here. Blondie the grizzly sow is fierce, and her presence at the park is fleeting. Though she comes and goes for just a moment on her journey, you will never forget having witnessed her — even if it’s just a glimpse.<br />

  • "Summer Spirit": It is felt in the air, in the warmth of the sunlight, in the energy of the wilderness. The truest form of intuition is a season’s change. Nature doesn’t ask for permission. It listens to its soul and moves forward.<br />

  • "Warrior": A warrior’s spirit is never broken by struggle. In spite of every defeat, it remains whole. It is not sheer will that carries the warrior to victory. It is his spirit.<br />

    Warrior-7382-.jpg
  • "Wapiti": The wild can be both beauty and brute strength. All at once, the bull elk is grace and brawn. He moves with a certain ease, waiting for the right moment to unleash the power he possesses. He knows when to show his strength, and that makes him all the more majestic.<br />

  • "Young Buck": Swift. Boundless. Exuberant. This land is raw and cruel, but to look a young pronghorn in the eye is to plainly see nature’s gentle innocence.<br />

  • "Home On The Range": Regal and resolute, he was chosen for this. All beings have a purpose; his is to defend his harem. To ensure his lineage is strong, like he is. You can see it in the sureness of his gait as he travels across the plains. Years later, that strength will be traced back to him through generations. It all started in this moment, and it was all borne of his purpose.<br />

  • "Griz": Like the land he walks on, he’s untamed. He emerges from the brush — you hear the snapping of sticks under his lumbering gate — and as he wanders, the air shifts to respond to his command.<br />

  • "Golden Hour": The light-dappled leaves hold their position in their dance. The wind stills. The moose pauses to survey the path she’s left behind. The moment is brief, but it is rich with wonder.<br />

    GoldenHour-0698-.jpg
  • "Morning Sage": Power is not always loud. Sometimes, it is hushed. It’s felt, but not heard. The moose exudes this quiet power on its morning journey. Her simple presence is all you need to feel in order to understand her strength.<br />

    MorningSage-2732-.jpg
  • "Gentle Spirit": The wilderness is all at once fragile and formidable, beautiful and raw. It’s a tonic for a tired soul, and a balm for a wounded spirit. These protected grounds witness violence and struggle — but they also give life.<br />

  • "Morning Rain": The path is unmarked, and what lies ahead is unknown. But the rain never fails to restore clarity and faith for the next step forward.<br />

    MorningRain-1546-.jpg
  • "Pride": Despite the wind’s vicious chill, the elk knows the wind is what pushes him forward. He walks with pride, with his head turned to the sun. You could consider the wind an enemy, or you could see it as the elk does: A driving force toward destiny.<br />

    Pride-0054.jpg
  • "Bold Spirit": Like his friend the mountain, the bison is formidable. Bold. His confidence doesn’t come from his sheer strength or size. It comes from the simple fact that he was born on this land. He was always meant to be here.<br />

    BoldSpirit-1435-.jpg
  • "Mountain Air": Outstretch your arms to either side of the forest’s range. Take in the thin air with burning lungs. Let the air cleanse you and restore you. Let it tell you what you could be if you only let yourself return to the earth that raised you.<br />

  • "Young Spirit": The cub’s world is vast, with endless rows of trees in sight. Mountains insurmountably tall, and rivers running wild and wide. The cub’s guiding spirit hovers closely, to teach them to navigate nature’s unforgiving landscape. Their life is unfolding, and one day, their guide will leave them to fend on their own. But for now, the mother is here — and the young bear is safe.<br />

  • "Keeping Watch": This earth has seen births and battles. It cradles the dead and offers sustenance to the growing. It holds dark secrets and whispers tender words in the night to those who speak its language. Its soul is both young and older than we can ever know, and it is the wild that keeps it alive.<br />
