Piece description from the artist
The Beaumont Tower is a structure on the campus of Michigan State University, designed by the architectural firm of Donaldson and Meier and completed in 1928. The 104-foot-tall (32 m) tower marks the site of College Hall, the first building constructed on the campus, as well as the first building in America erected for instruction in scientific agriculture. Due to poor construction, College Hall collapsed in 1918.1 John W. Beaumont, an 1882 alumnus of MSU, proposed the construction of the monument to conserve the Campus Circle and serve as a monument to teaching.
In the moments before dawn, just before the sun spills over the horizon and across the landscape, I always smile with anticipation as I wait for the show to begin.
I savor the days when I’m alone in nature, witnessing the world in all its perfection and capturing those fleeting moments of natural beauty.
I love the craft of photography and the entire process of earning a photo that makes me proud- even the disappointing days when my shutter doesn’t click once. The white-out blizzards, stormy nights, and grueling hikes are always worth the dazzling golden sunrises, crimson last gasps of sun at day's end, and the crystal clear night skies staring out into infinity.
It’s all a humble reminder that nature is always in charge, and no two days are the same.
Ultimately, I’m just a guy who loves to see the world, appreciate its beauty and attempts to do it justice with my lens.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.
