In the early morning or late afternoon, you might find Gene outdoors waiting for the just right light. An avid photographer, he focuses on capturing the majestic beauty of nature. During the day, he’s equally focused on helping his clients plan for a secure financial future. Gene has been a financial consultant for over 40 years.
Over the years his attention has also turned to writing poetry and prose. Most of his works center on Presque Isle State Park and its unique beauty. The park is located just five minutes from his home and attracts 3.8 million visitors a year. Gene currently serves as President of Presque Isle Partnership, a private/governmental partnership which supports the park.
Presque Isle seems to be one of the places on earth that God paused to create something special. A place where man could stop and reflect on what is right about the world. A place to pause for a moment to drink in the beauty that nature has to offer. It is an enchanting place where colors seem brighter, air softer and where time moves slowly.
A place where solitude and reflection are greater gifts than sun and sand.
As you read each poem, you will be able to slow down, take a minute to reflect on the complementary photographs accompanying the words. The theme of the book is the beauty, quiet, and solitude offered by nature. The author believes that if you love nature, nature will open up a whole new world for your enjoyment. The book is an attempt to paint words and photography as one and create a “Mood” with nature for the reader.view less
