In 1987 I received a Master of Architecture from Washington Un iversity in Saint Louis\, Mo.\nAs long as I can remember I have loved phot ography and nature. I would watch all the nature and wildlife shows I coul d find and dream of someday seeing them in real life. In 2006 my love of p hotography and nature came together to help sustain me through a very diff icult time in my personal life.\nIn my work I seek to intertwine the beaut y of nature with the philosophy of our shared existence. Each photograph s erves as a reflection of my journey through diverse landscapes\, capturing moments where light dances with form\, revealing the intricate connection between all living things. My passion for the environment drives me to di scover and document the ephemeral beauty surrounding us. Each outing into the wilderness is an opportunity for growth\, both as an artist and as a h uman. I approach photography as an ethical practice\, guided by principles that emphasize mindfulness and respect for nature. I strive to present ea ch scene not merely as a visual representation but as a narrative that sho wcases the inherent value of life and the interconnectedness of all beings . Through this art\, I aim to inspire others to pause and reflect\, to rec ognize the beauty in their own surroundings\, and to cherish the lessons h idden in each moment. My work embodies a philosophy rooted in curiosity an d appreciation—a reminder that everything is beautiful if we choose to s ee it. Each photograph is a testament to my journey\, inviting you to join me in an exploration of the landscapes that shape our collective experien ce.\nTalk Description:\nUltimately\, while it’s impossible to escape the shadow of the photographs taken before\, I find joy in discovering a uniq ue perspective. Hidden details\, like the delicate interplay of ice and li ght or the subtle patterns etched into the rock by erosion. Finding these unique perspectives allows you to tell a story that is your own\, and the opportunity to see and share the world in a way that’s personal and fres h.\nwww.tomcrocephoto.com\nTitle: Finding Your Voice - Unique Perspectives and The Decisive Moment END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20250309T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0500 TZOFFSETTO:-0400 TZNAME:EDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
