Intergenerational Discounting has been a topic of debate among economists and philosophers for decades.  Essentially, the idea is that "people are more motivated by immediate private rewards than by long-term, collective future benefits." I believe that to be true, particularly concerning man's role in habitat destruction, climate change, and species extinction.

​

Unfortunately, we are not alone. We share the results of those motivations with all creatures great and small. Climate change, habitat loss, and species extinction are only a few of the results of intergenerational discounting.

​

As a landscape architect, I worked for decades to create sustainable designs that preserve and protect sensitive ecosystems on a local scale. As an artist and photographer, I am driven to explore our work and capture images for us and future generations.

 

I hope you enjoy what you see here.
