Marcus W. Reinkensmeyer is an avid Arizona based nature photographer, especially drawn to less traveled wilderness areas. His growing body of images explores the transient quality of light and the intricate patterns of our natural environment. His work includes a collection of abstract “nature impressions,” created through time exposures and camera movements “in the field.”
