The Wilds
Exploring a Sense of Place
Every place is
a composition of elements such as geography, weather, scent and
sound that when combined, create "a sense of place." Many characteristics of a place
are not always visible, they are the Earth's forces, ancient
cultures, plants and animals that have come and gone over thousands
and even millions of years. Their essence is imbedded in stone,
petrified and preserved. Some would say this is the spirit of
a place.
Film and
video has the ability to enhance the sights and sounds of a natural
environment: wind whispering through pines; waves crashing on
rocks; a creek babbling beneath ice. These audio/visual experiences
heighten the awareness of viewers to the unique qualities of
wild places.

habitats within the reserve. Images are printed on water color paper

Through The Wilds I attempt to capture the spirit of wild places, providing a portal through which the viewer can experience a sense of place.
The Wilds is a video series that captures the dramatic landscapes and natural sounds of parks, nature reserves and World Heritage Sites. These "environmental pieces" are designed to provide an audio/visual experience through enhanced natural audio, dramatic cinematography and acoustical music. The Wilds draws you into the environments of Earth's spectacular wild & scenic places.
