\"MushroomsStkd2\"<\/a>I try to capture the little things in life that are all around us and provide the beauty in our world, just by being in it. For me, it\u2019s the way of the Romantics. Idyllic and Pastoral! We only have one World and one chance in it, so we should savour it in every way we can.<\/p>\n

I wish to show the extraordinary within the \u201cordinary\u201d through my Photography, show a meaning in a moment: there are many and varied. All around us is wonder. All too often in this day and age we\u2019re constantly drawn away from what\u2019s already beautiful and in front of us.<\/p>\n

Constantly throughout our days there are hundreds if not thousands of messages telling us negative things:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wars are happening everywhere
\nWe’re destroying the Environment
\nWe\u2019re not good enough
\nWhat we have isn\u2019t good enough
\nWe need this or that to be better
\nImages of Death & Disaster
\nHuman kind\u2019s inhumanity<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We’re consistantly assaulted with the idea anything that\u2019s positive or good is somehow \u201cless\u201d important or not worthy of our attention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I want to help<\/em> people pause and see the wonder and beauty that\u2019s there to find, right nearby without too much effort and free to all to see. I invite you<\/em> to look and experience Glimpses of Inherent Beauty<\/strong>. I hope<\/em> you enjoy what you see here. I encourage<\/em> you to see some aspect of something here that gives you pleasure and will stay with you even if you don\u2019t chose to take it away as a print.<\/p>\n

This Site sells only Prints. I want you to have something tangible, vibrant, \u201creal\u201d<\/em> and that you can choose to integrate into your own space in this world in whatever \u201cframework\u201d you see fit. There is positivity in the world and it has substance in all it\u2019s forms.<\/p>\n

Thank you for stopping by and sharing a Shard<\/a>.<\/p>\n
