ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Born, raised and continuing to reside in the northeastern United States has given David Heilman a deep appreciation for the natural beauty of the region. With camera in hand, he has traveled extensively throughout the country, always curious to see what is around the next bend.
Primarily self-taught, David has studied the works of some of the great American outdoor photographers. With these talented artists as his benchmark, David holds a high standard for his own work.
Throughout his 25 year journey to perfecting his craft, David’s affinity with nature shines through in his photography. He looks and sees with a true artist’s eye.
“I think that people will too often look and not really see. And if I can see for them, to show them what fascinates me about a single leaf floating in a creek, or the morning light highlighting a stand of trees or the seemingly random pattern in a pile of rocks…then I have shared that single experience, that split second in time with them. And if I can give them the opportunity to enjoy that one moment, then I have accomplished what I set out to do.”
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Born in the midwest, and living in various regions of the United States throughout her life, has given Sharon Cain the opportunity to explore the country from a highly personal perspective. Her natural curiosity and insatiable appetite for knowledge defines her creative approach.
As an art director and designer by profession for over twenty years, Sharon has developed a clean and classic style to her design. An avid storyteller, her writing skills are the perfect complement to her visually creative talents.
“I believe good design is good design, no matter what the medium. Be it in the form of graphic design, interior, industrial or fashion design. The same theory holds true for a good story, as it does not matter the genre. As a designer, my role is to help my clients achieve their goals by visually telling their story. As a storyteller, my role is to gift my reader with a new, and hopefully, positive experience. If I can help someone be successful, or share a story that brings a smile to someone’s face, then I have accomplished what I set out to do.”
Married for over twenty years, David and Sharon share their lives with their two canine companions, in a home surrounded by a northeastern hardwood forest. Both still curious, both still looking to see what may be around the next bend. Both still enjoying all the natural beauty our world has to offer.
