I am moved to capture what is invisible to the naked eye,
but also to capture what is visible but often overlooked.

It is fascinating to capture what is invisible to the naked eye, but also to capture what is visible but often overlooked. My love of close-camera work provides for this type of exploration. Nature reminds me that mystery is continuous, beyond what we might notice or understand. When I am capturing what I call, nature's simple miracle's, I am really bowing at mother earth.

In nature, be it a striking landscape or an average backyard, there is a magical world of wonder all around us, waiting and well worth admiring.

When photographing, the more commonplace or unusual a subject, the more fascinated I become and the more alive I feel.

Sand On Rock

Author and Photographic Artist Michelle Dorothy Riksman Experiences Life Through an Autist

Terrific photographs can be taken in seemingly dull places. That's the advantage of closing in on a subject; the beauty can be isolated.
