Behind Every tree

Fungus grows thick in the Alaska rain forest

Still wandering in Alaska this week and options for photography are limited and expansive all at the same time.

I have always loved to spend time in the wilderness, but don’t find myself with much aptitude for traditional
landscapes. Many times I feel like the scene before me is never well represented in the photographs I end up bringing home.

I’m sure there are elements in the capture I’m missing. Or perhaps my eye always ends up wandering to other compositions. Finding smaller vignettes within a larger space suits my style and sensibility more. Bypassing the large spaces for the delicate and intimate textures found close up.

It all represents the power of nature and the continual draw to return again and again. In this wonderland there is always something behind every tree.
