I'm really into gardening.

I do the gardening.

I like to think of myself as a natural gardener.

I've always liked trees. And then, growing up, I took an interest in ecology, hedges being destroyed, the landscape being turned into prairies.

I have always wanted to be a gardener, and I love the time I spend in my garden.

I can be a woodsman if need be. I grew up very close to some forest, and I spent a lot of my formative years up and down trees, fooling around in the woods. I'm no stranger to that sort of landscape.

I plant a lot of trees. I am a great believer in planting things for future generations. I loathe the now culture where you just live for today.

Having photographed the landscape for a number of years and specifically working with trees and in the forest I found, without consciously thinking about it, that it was a great learning experience for me in terms of organizing elements.

If you would know strength and patience, welcome the company of trees.
