... Nature is my greatest source of  photographic inspiration... 

It is in this Nature to which I aspire that I discover all the beauty of the world as if each time was a first time... and that I find myself too...

"Photography acquires something of the dignity which it lacks when it ceases to be a reproduction of reality and shows us things that no longer exist".

~ Marcel Proust, À l'ombre des jeunes filles en fleurs

"What I see here is nothing but a shell. What is most important is invisible... What moves me so deeply, about this little prince who is sleeping here, is his loyalty to a flower — the image of a rose that shines through his whole being like the flame of a lamp, even when he is asleep... 

Here is my secret. It is very simple: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."

Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le petit prince
