The Tao of Landscape Photography is about the recovery and the illumination of the path to creativity. I say recovery because the way of the Tao (getting back in touch with our true nature) is also a recognition that the path was always there. This gallery includes many images from my blog post "The Tao of Landscape Photography" that explores our relationship to the Tao.
