In an abandoned building in southern Colorado - not sure if it was built for potatoes, grain, or beans - ravens have returned to the same nest for many years. Each year twigs fall to the pile below., creating a pile now over six feet tall. Ravens, Corvus corax, ae sometimes seen as a symbol of the "dark side", but in some native American cultures they are revered. They are intelligent birds who can live up to 15 years in the wild.

Every time I try to describe what "type" of photographer I am, or what photography "means", I find the words are as fleeting as the perfect moment of light on a scene.
