While documenting the
riparian corridors of California after severe winter weather caused flooding,
landslides, and mudslides to the region, my work took me to places in six
counties in advance of spring's bloom. I was to document the damages associated
with flooding, and the response to those communities and public entities that
were affected. In doing so, I grew a profound appreciation for the desert, and
the wildlife that live in the unforgiving dynamic environment.
I began to see things in my
steps in search of the water's source, high notes of nature, and witnessed the
gentle birth of the spring season. I saw nature coming out of its slumber, transforming
into spring, and I witnessed the sun grow the flowers, which grew the
pollinators, which grew the predators. I was inspired by the quiet, simple, and
beautiful world of the desert.
