If we lose wilderness, we lose forever the knowledge of what the world was and what it might, with understanding and loving husbandry, yet become.  -- Harvey Broome (Co-founder of The Wilderness Society)

I am an avid outdoors person, who loves to explore, hike, kayak, camp and spend as much time in the wilds as possible.  My photography goes hand in hand with this as I am able to capture the amazing world of nature all around us and share it with others.  I love to share beauty of this phenomenal world.   I want to encourage people to get out and enjoy nature but also to teach them about our wildlands and encourage them to take care of it so it will be there for not only us, but generations to come.  Stewardship of our wilderness is so important.

Nature has always been a draw to me, it has an inherent beauty that I learned to appreciate at a very young age.  It offers wonderful surprises at every look, every step, along every path, and in every corner and crevice. With a camera in my hand, I see things I would possibly never see other wise. I love to seek out those hidden beauties as I might just be walking a short distance down a path, along a stream, or through a woods, examining at length everything from lichen and algae growing on a rotted log to pebbles lining a brook, unique reflections in the water, or I am hiking the mountains and  seeing the glorious vistas, thunderous waterfalls, or glacial lakes our wild lands have to offer. I love to explore, hike, even kayak, but even more I love to capture these images and share them with all of you to bring that story, that emotion, that sense of awe, that sense of peace and calm, that I have gotten to experience when I step out into the wondrous world of nature around us. Join me as I travel across the United States and see through my eyes the beauty all around us.  --Koral
