The Inner Journey signifies that hidden in the last light of the day is the confluence of all the energies, elements, and powers that moved through that space.  Each moment represents a flashback journey to an ever deeper inner past - buried within that first instant of time.  The images in this series are placed in reverse order to abstract the rigor of time; the storm, which was at the end of my journey, is now at the beginning.  Within the present are all those moments that came before.

I have always been drawn to the meditative quality of the waters of the Hudson River and the sacred aspects of the natural environment. The dramatic play of light on the landscape, reflective water, and monotone colors were inspired by the Luminist Movement of the 1850’s. This series recalls a more romantic era when God and Nature were viewed as one.

In my second Hudson series I am more concerned with the transient effects of light and color. Now my images become less defined. The speed of the train plays an integral role and the landscape becomes more painterly.  

In these photographs, I revisited the Hudson landscape in winter. The speed of the train, the light and the snow play an important element in the overall composition of this series.
