Description On one side of the Reflecting Pool stands rows of chairs. Each chair represents a person who died in this sensless tragedy. Sadder even, there are rows of smaller chairs that stand for the children who died when the day care center was also blown up.
Jim Lawrence, Colorado Springs Member Since December 2009 Artist Statement I have always been inspired by the natural world around me. While living in Northern New England as a boy, I always had access to the sea shore and mountains. I was an avid hiker and camper so it was natural that I would turn to photography to allow myself to express the wonder of nature that I feel and to share it with others. In this world of commercialization and hectic living, I find it soothing to the soul to just hop in the car and drive to the mountains to immerse myself in the serenity of the natural world.
