Why take pictures of nature? There is a power in nature unlike anywhere else. In our fast-paced and distracted lives, we often don't take time to be with the healing qualities of nature. Photographs bring it to us. They inspire and awaken our sanctuary and imagination, the wilderness and magic within. Sparked, or perhaps relaxed and renewed, we return to our lives of civilization and culture carrying with us these new places.

Ideas for Moving Forward
Take photos of nature with healing qualities in mind.
Take photos of earth, air, fire, and water.
Look into early nature photographs and their influence. particularly of US west and Congress' decision to create national parks.
Research eastern art, how it relates to 5 element healing, taoism. how nature heals.
