Henri Cartier Bresson has spoken of the "decisive moment" in creating a photo-journalistic image; a unique instant that is different from any other, and captured for posterity in a fraction of a second. 

When one thinks of landscape photography, it is perceived of in much more languorous terms; slowly executed, contemplative, still. But this is usually not the case. Though the preparation can be hours, days or longer, with the light and mood constantly changing and evolving, there is indeed a "decisive moment" that captures the essence of a landscape. 

My images try to at once reflect the timelessness of the landscape, and the fleeting nature of a particular confluence of light and conditions that render a dramatic and signal moment; a moment in which I try to capture a three dimensional world with all the senses of being there - the sights, the sounds, the smells, the feel of the air - onto a two dimensional plane - a still image - with the hope that the ultimate viewer will experience what I felt.  

It has been asked whether a photographic image is a window or a mirror. Does it show you simply what the photographer saw or does it also give you insight into the emotions of the image maker? I hope my images do both.
