American Dreaming is a meditation and an exploration of traditional American landscapes. Mindful of the romantic tradition of photography whereas the beauty of nature becomes a transformational state; color, patterns and shapes become experiences that are analogous to another gateway, like the language of music; rhythm, tone and tempo.

The book design is simple with bookend quotations from Ludwig van Beethoven; Observations of transcendental beauty of nature and the muse of the human spirit. What I call American Dreaming.
