Silent Serenity

2024

The horse project taught me many things, about myself, about horses, and about photography. One of the key takeaways for me was that there are always new ways to see animals, and new photographs to make, and this has led to reinvigorated passion for my flamingo series.

I first photographed these birds about seven years ago, for what was originally a one-year project. Here I am, about to enter 2025, still adding to the series, and with no plans to stop anytime soon.

I love this frame – it has a such a peaceful feeling to it. They can be feisty subjects, but there is a silent serenity when they settle down, on one leg, for a well-earned sleep.
