    • Quotes
      The human interaction with nature is a phenomenal thing ... How we abuse it, and rip it apart. And sometimes the mess - the leftovers of human inhabitation and decay - looks beautiful because nature grabs it and does something with it. I'm a big believer that there's beauty in everything we look at.
