Touch of the Wild

Touch of the wild first began many years ago when Michael was 8 years old. He remembers being in the forest behind his childhood home playing and making forts when a profound calm and sense of peace came over him. As he looked around, in this state, he first experienced the touch of the wild by witnessing and being with the living, breathing aliveness of nature. This event had such a deep impact on him which moved him to explore many of the most wild places on North America and also, later, to the amazon jungle which led him into a journey to discover those wild places within. This project is his way at attempting to capture and bring forth the magic and healing power of the wild places.
