Be the change you wish to see in the world. - Ghandi

Treat others the way YOU want to be treated. - Jesus

Our deepest fear is not that we are weak, insignificant, inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure... You are a child of God, your playing small doesn't serve the world. - Nelson Mandella

An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity... Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

All that we are is the result of what we have thought. If a man speaks or acts with an evil thought, pain follows him. If a man speaks or acts with a pure thought, happiness follows him, like a shadow that never leaves him. - Buddha

Men occasionally stumble over the truth... but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. - Winston Churchill

Although nature commences with reason and ends in experience, it is necessary for us to do the opposite, that is to commence with experience and from this procede to investigate the reason... All our knowledge [all reality] has its origins in our perceptions. - Leonardo DaVinci

Eat, Drink, and Be Merry, for tomorrow we die. - Dave Matthews

Nathan is an avid practitioner of yoga, meditation, rock-climbing, hiking and camping, and enjoys skiing, sky-diving, and white-water rafting when he can afford it. He went for nearly two years of his life suffering from crippling plantar-fasciitis, and was told by multiple medical professionals that he would never be able to walk again. Now, after studying and applying the principles of holistic healing, he can walk, run, and dance without pain. nt for New Div Tag Goes Here

Nathan loves to create art of all kinds. During college he began working with charcoal, acrylics, and pencils. He soon grew tired of drafting images based off of photos found in magazines or the internet, and wanted to create pieces based off of the way the he perceives life. So, in Fall 2007 he purchased his first dSLR camera. Thanks to a professional photographer friend of his (photofm.com), he was pointed in the right directions, and soon turned photography into his prefered method of visual art. He has a passion for landscape and nature photography, but also loves photographing people, animals, and events.
