British Columbia, 1979. I began taking nature images as a 6-year-old with my grandmother’s twin-lens Argus – that was back around 1958. I began seriously photographing (in earnest) around 1967 – alongside the coming days of Woodstock, and, “The Summer of Love,” (1969). Nature became my keen interest by 1975, and held my primary concentration for another ten years. Thereafter, I became curious in manipulating my landscapes, altering, enhancing, and even growing my images into an art beyond their own realism. – BMM
