And I heard a light*, and the hinge of my heart opened...**

hinge What shall we say?
    You, only you, you
    You at the hinge - and then the day.
Walter Brueggemann, from "Awed to Heaven, Rooted in Earth"


My journey over the past decade as a photographer has led me through the abandoned quarries of Cape Ann, following "The Fabled Light of Cape Ann, Massachusetts."
At a time of personal travail, I found my way to "Seven Sacred Pauses."
...
My days become filled with a longing to connect more deeply with Great Spirit.

'Wind, Water and Stone,'
Even Song Events with my images included for meditation and reflection, with Rev. Anne Deneen, Michael O'Leary ,& Amy Lohman.

"Via Crucis: A Photographer Before the Cross,"

Although violent and human forces may have created the main object, Bartlett provides visual
interest and psychological comfort by surprising us with an harmonious order. Perhaps, it is the
beneficent light - the kindest aspect of the fire element that gives warmth and life – that accords with the observer. Bartlett’s arresting photographs offer a perpetual opportunity to experience the natural world with an immediacy and freshness that few are able to find, as well as a lesson on how to behold.
