About

This is a collection of images that have imprinted themselves on me over the last few years.  

Part journal, part creative outlet. I feel privileged to have travelled through these places and this is one way I can share the experience, to bring part of it back. 

I find I need to spend time in nature to stay grounded and present. Too much time in built environments and the disconnection creeps in. Screens, news, information, updates, alerts - much of it meaningless. As a culture we have so much knowledge, so much technology, yet we often miss what is most important. What gives us life. We extract, use and abuse this planet, while rarely looking back at the destruction we have caused, or think about the problems we are leaving our children to deal with.

When I travel I am reminded of many things. The sheer power of wild places. Their innate ability to heal and restore. The significance (and insignificance) of humans. Resilience, Creativity, Similarity, Difference. It’s all here. Everything we need to thrive, our planet provides unconditionally. But these gifts aren’t to be taken for granted; they shouldn’t be abused. For when we stop being grateful, when we stop showing respect, they eventually cease to flow.

And so with that in mind I share these images, in the hope that they speak to you the same way they speak to me.

Thanks for stopping by,

Riddy
