"When I first came to the American Southwest, it was difficult for me to comprehend its vastness.
A place where the sky and horizon met below my feet and the stars formed a canopy so that the
earth I slept on seemed like a cradle. Over the years that I've lived here, I have tried to place it in
perspective in the context of my life in order to better understand my sphere of reality. I used to define
my reality and my world by my limited experience, and in that way limited myself to the immense
possibilities available to me. What I discovered, living in the Southwest with its wide open spaces,
is just how much room there is in me to remember and rediscover the peace and center of my soul.
I have learned that the beauty all around me is a reminder of the vast beauty inside me
... much of which is still waiting to be explored..."

"Join me in exploring the places that have been the inspiration for my photography for over 30 years. In the unique landscape
of northern New Mexico and southern Colorado, experience the places, architecture and culture of this enchanting and
mystical corner of the world.”

The four days I spent with Geraint made for the best photography workshop I've ever attended. He was generous with his
time and even more giving with his knowledge. His patient, supportive approach created a learning environment where I
could proceed at my own pace. We explored some wonderful locations and were able to interact with a number of colorful
characters. Mark van Doren said, "The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery." That's a perfect description of
what Geraint does.Ron Richardson, Jasper, Alabama
