My Story
People sometimes ask how I became involved with the nature beings. The answer is both simple and unexpected.
All my life I have wanted to know one thing: the nature of God, or Source as I usually call it. Every discipline I have studied has become another point from which to approach that one question. Quakerism, yoga, sacred geometry, meditation, dowsing, and many other paths have each contributed something to that search. Together they have gradually shaped my understanding.
For many years my attention was directed toward what are often called the higher dimensions of consciousness. Then, in 2003, a gnome introduced himself to me. That meeting quietly changed the direction of my life.
Instead of drawing me farther from Earth, the nature beings introduced me to an entirely different civilization who, it quickly transpired, had developed important understandings about consciousness that I had never before encountered.
At that time, photography was simply a practical skill I had learned to photograph products for my rock shop. But as a thank-you gift for allowing him to make my cottage his home, the gnome asked if I would like to photograph a fairy. He was quite certain that I could do so. Neither of us realized where that photograph would lead.
A local deva, however, immediately recognized the significance of of this event. She realized that digital photography had advanced to the point where it could capture a material image of one of her people. She initiated contact with me and gently, yet with the quiet certainty that accompanies true authority, asked, “I would like to offer you a contract to photograph my people and to show those photographs to humans. Humans need to understand that we are real. If you accept, my people will help you wherever you go to photograph.”
As a Quaker, I have always regarded my word as a binding agreement. So I considered her unusual offer carefully, including a great humility about my current simplistic photography skills. But this offer was so intriguing that I accepted her request, and that commitment has guided my work ever since.
Since then, I have worked hard to build my photographic and interdimensional communication skills. I work as a disciplined photographer – and as a diplomat and a documentarian. I photograph only with permission and present the images as faithful records of what I find. My books, lectures, and exhibitions simply continue that work of documentation. They record what I have been shown and the understandings that have grown from more than twenty years of relationship with the nature beings.
My search for Source continues. The nature beings simply opened another path. They taught me that a fuller understanding of Source is found not only through exploring the higher levels of consciousness, but also through exploring the consciousness of Earth herself. Both are expressions of the same Source, and together they offer a more complete understanding than either could alone.
PROFESSIONAL BIOGRAPHY
For more than twenty years, I have documented the world of the nature beings through photography, writing, lectures, workshops, and exhibitions. My work explores the relationship between humanity and Earth’s other living communities through a unique combination of documentary photography, personal experience, and interdimensional communication.
