Lake Louise, Victoria Glacier

Photography is a math equation of how to create joy in your life and that of others, a great learning experience, in a lifetime's walk down a long garden path.

 A child becomes a man, who's purpose is to study the world around him, and quickly learn his rightful role as subordinate to an infinitely wonderful teacher of art, math, science, ideas unknown and grand, and that accordingly, a formal respect is due.

For the man to be complete, to see God, he must become a child again, proficient at being little. These are exactly the things, for what the depths of your soul is looking through the viewfinder, I can assure you. Don't believe less. Remember as you ponder the frame, the greatest photographer of all, looks back.

Learning to see the subject takes many years, it takes sufficient tears, requires long suffering, a lifetime maybe, understanding life's hard lessons, the depths of many fields, sorrows of great loss, assumptions of difficult responsibility, hard failure's resolve, far ranging vistas outside the self, an absolute confidence in beauty and truth, a seat of your pants knowledge of the illusive golden light, the power of clouds for light reduction, and to define the vastness of the sky, count the distance perspective and provide a degree of hope that is new and mysterious.

Only one brief little picture so short, a sparkle on a distant sea. What could it say ? What should it ?

Lake Louise is fed by the melt-water of Mount Victoria's receding glacier. The blue green color of many Northern lakes is due to suspended rock dust ground by the force of gravity on rivers of ice with embedded boulders grinding down glacial paths.

In the far Northern U. S. and Canadian Rockies, during periods of drought, mountain forest fires caused by natural forces are always burning, creating a haze in the landscape. It's possible to see from one vantage point, several separate fires burning at once, mountains apart in different directions. There are no fires in this image, but the haze from them is definitely present. Everything white is clouds or glacial ice.

So your depressed a little huh?.. and tired of chasing a dollar. Well then don't buy that new vehicle and keep your old house for now. Now isn't the time to do those things. You don't have to be like everyone else. Now is the time to save for a small used motor home to drive the Alaska Highway..._ yep! If you want to be reborn, and see the beauty again, so long as your hemorrhoids aren't acting up, I'm your prophet.

Waterton Lakes National Park , Alberta


If I would run in the opposite direction, beauty would follow me, change its place in the Universe. Before the big bang, while fate was all rolled up in a twinkling in the eye of the Great Creator, it was decided.

Yukon Territory



The beauty of the land extraordinarily out-merits sufficiency,
such a wonderful example of a physical Heaven. There is no evil in it.

The Inside Passage


We do not want schools....
they will teach us to have churches.
We do not want churches....
they will teach us to quarrel about God.
We do not want to learn that.
We may quarrel with men sometimes
about things on this earth,
but we never quarrel about God.
We do not want to learn that.

Crowfoot Mountain and Bow Lake, Canadian Rockies










 In recent years, I've been thinking that, the admiration of beauty can nearly equal, that in the vista.
