Nominee

"Great Balls 'O Fire"

Oil field gas flare - energy that could be used, but isn't.

Biography: Been making photos since I was about 8. I can't seem to stop myself. Originally trained as a geologist, and spending 20 years in oil exploration, I am now in my second career as a crime analyst for the local police department. Photography is my way of appreciating this amazing planet we live on. I just hope we can stop our destructive behavior and become the true caretakers we were meant to be.
