Sarah Nicholson creates intricate and complex images in a mandala form from her nature photographs.  Simple everyday objects take on an ethereal quality when transformed into her digitally manipulated images.  Sarah studied photography in high school and has recently taken up the camera again to create these sensual and engaging photographs. 
 Kai  Reed, her 21 year old son, has just returned from a 7 week trip to Chile and Argentina where he has trekked the landscapes in search of birds, a passion he has nurtured since the age of 6.  Last year he toured New Zealand, the year before, Peru  and a criss-cross America 10,000 mile road trip, and in 2009, Ecuador.  His extensive knowledge of and insight into the avian world enables him to capture intimate details of their behavior, form and habitat.  Kai shoots with a Canon 7D and a 500 mm lens for many of his images.
