This mysterious land of enchantment, a siren song seducing many an explorer, writer, poet, miner, photographer, artist and even those seeking healing of the metaphysical kind. An indescribable allure that promises those of a curious nature to provide endless fascination. For those suffering the ills of industrialised urbanisation the open road and vast empty spaces have long inspired romantic notions, uplifted spirits, encouraged self-discovery and delivered an unabashed sense of freedom. Imbued with a magical charm and a tangible presence of ancient people you're entering the realm of The American Southwest.

I consider myself fortunate to be centrally located and surrounded by hundreds of miles of such dynamic geologic landforms, where new discoveries are a mere road trip away. Each adventure becomes a muse and a catalyst for my next set of photographic expressions, prose and cherished memories. The photography serves as the documentation while the writing helps to define and express the emotive. Each road trip becomes a complete love affair. Affair being an apt word as the landscape and nature of a road trip opens up the freedom to dip your toes in then leave.
