The Mountain World
Nothing compares to being among high mountains, watching the world come alive or fall asleep. Colors, moods, textures, and forms burst forth in a manner which act to affect the soul in profound ways. These all too brief moments spent among mountains have long driven my desire to engage in the larger world through travel, photography, and climbing. My hope is to express this feeling of awe and wonder photographically.

Michael  Bollino > LIFTING THE VEIL

Mount Rainier National Park
Michael  Bollino > SINOPAH DAWN
