Konnie LeMay, editor of Lake Superior Magazine, has said about his work, “His photography expresses his love and concern for our wild spaces and delicate environments. He’s one of a handful of photographers with whom we work who can literally translate emotions into their images. The joy of continued discovery comes out in Bryan’s work — he may have shot the same scenic area a dozen or more times, but every image speaks to a new way of seeing or of something freshly seen.”
