About the Artist – Michael DeCesare
Michael DeCesare writes:
"Photography is my first language, and I try to speak softly in color, light, and tone. I do not enforce my will on a digital negative with software skills. Instead, I collaborate with an image as one would with a trusted friend, making a journey of discovery together. A deep, personal commitment to environmental preservation underscores my pledge to do no harm and leave no trace wherever I shoot."
Selected elements from Michael’s photography are carefully reproduced for our bookmarks, pairing his imagery with Mitercraft’s handcrafted hardwood designs.
The butterfly photograph captures a quiet moment of natural beauty in Wyoming’s Salt River Pass, transforming this bookmark into a small keepsake celebrating wildlife, photography, and handcrafted design.
