The James Scott Memorial Fountain is a monument located in Belle Isle Park, in Detroit, Michigan. Designed by architect Cass Gilbert and sculptor Herbert Adams, the fountain was completed in 1925. The fountain is 510 feet across, and its central fountain could spray water 125 feet into the air. It has 109 water outlets in the shape of dolphins, turtles, lions and human figures.

To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour. William Blake As a young girl I had William Blake's poem taped to my bedroom wall. It was the first thing I laid eyes on when I woke up in the morning and the last thing I saw as I drifted off to sleep at night. His words, though simple, hold a power and a beauty all their own. As a photographer, I strive to capture this same essence in my work. To capture a moment of perfect, beautiful simplicity in an ever-changing world is, to me, what photography is all about and I try to capture this in my photographs.
