As the crickets' soft autumn hum
is to us
so are we to the trees
as are they
to the rocks and the hills.

Rock Found At Bean Hollow/Pebble Beach
This stone is the most sacred relic in my home.
To this day, I'm astonished that I found such an immaculately sculpted rock, not sculpted by human hands but by the sea, the elements. At the time, the word "animism" had not even entered my purview, but I knew in my heart that spirit was at work here and that this rock had something to remind me. This rock, and all rocks, as inanimate as they seem, are of spirit. So are the waters, the winds and fires. Everything Is Alive. Everything.
I made this picture in 1999 with a Hasselblad Camera, in an altered state, during a lunar eclipse.

Zero Gravity- Black & Photography by Norm Halm
It was so fun to find this slideshow I made a few years ago but never published. It contains selections of my black and white photography from three portfolios that I started work on over 22 years ago… It's now apparent that I was an animist, pantheist, pagan before it even occurred to me to use such words to describe my worldview…
