“I leave only footsteps” came about from the familiar quote “Leave only footprints,  take only pictures” and my love of nature.

My philosophy is anything that we respect and love unconditionally will reveal its true self. I know that living this philosophy is why I am able to capture the beauty in nature as I do.

The earth is a complex living entity that deserves our respect and unconditional love. Let us all commit to living a greener life. – Alan Ostmann
