Singing Raven Photography

 Singing Raven Photography/Raven Gemini is simultaneously a fine art photographer and three woodland creatures in a trench coat, based in Chicago.        The passage of time is of particular interest to me, the way it moves quickly in some places, and much more slowly in others.  As someone who has always seemed to exist at a slower pace than everyone else around me, places where time runs deepest and slowest are my favorites.  This manifests itself as a body of work done primarily in rural and natural environments, but also encapsulates occasional forays into the very urban.  Cities are curious...
