Lost in the French Alps

"No matter how long the winter, spring is sure to follow."

"The sole intent of my landscape photography is simple. I want to recreate the scene that you would have witnessed with your own eyes had you been standing next to me at the moment I fired the camera's shutter, but that isn't the limit of my intent, for ultimately the best landscape photographs should invigorate all your senses, so that atmosphere and mood are as tangible as the vision. Ultimately, that image should be as transparent as a glassless window, to a scene you can step through and touch."

~ Ian Cameron

"The Grand Canyon is carven deep by the master hand; it is the gulf of silence, widened in the desert; it is all time inscribing the naked rock; it is the book of earth."
