About

Theodore Tollefson Fine Art Photography is about finding beauty every day and making images that invite viewers to meditate on the good. What started with a phone pic, has escalated quickly.

I found that as I walked and looked, I began to feel better. This lines up exactly with resent research about stress and exposure to nature. Nature can help the human soul to heal. People handle stress better when they look at pictures of nature.

This website, this whole endeavor is about sharing the images I’m making as part of my journey. I hope that they can help you too. On the basis of my experience, I believe that photography can bring a little bit of calm and beauty into your day.

On a personal level, this means that we get to share the benefits of seeing the natural environment. On a creative level, this means I am trying to take pictures almost daily as an exercise in finding beauty in the quotidian, and an exercise in being there when something great happens.
