Hearts Road is a visual journey set to music that took over 30 years to produce. It was photographed in over 90 countries, and took millions of miles to complete. It would initially be seen as an occupation, but it soon evolved into the transformation of soul. It would ultimately ask him, and then us, to look at our world in a different way. Take the time… Travel through the lens of your own camera eye, and discover the passion and the empathy that is held within the power of the still image. You will be moved through some of our histories brightest times, and you will mourn through some of our darkest. The road is the road, and Colin’s photographs will take you through a portal, that has been compassionately stilled our world. Antarctica, Alberta Tar Sands, the Arctic Circle, Iceland by helicopter, Hawaii as you’ve never seen it, Mountaintop Removal, the Grizzly Bears of the Katmai Peninsula, Easter Island, Darfur, Apartheid South Africa, Belfast, Sarajevo, War in the Middle East, Agent Orange, along with dozens of other inter-related stories. Through his photographs, we seamlessly stitch together the common links that unite us all in our struggle. Quite simply, our environment connects our entire world, and each of us is a solution.

Hearts Road is a non-verbal documentary feature film, and it allows viewers to discover, create, and draw their own conclusions. Talking heads and voiceover commentary, do not tell the audience what to think or feel. Rather the viewer is left to their own fertile imagination. The documentary works as a self-guided meditation, becoming a journey for the viewer’s soul. Often alone, Colin travelled silently, and left only the smallest of footprints. He worked with only two camera bodies and three lenses. Though a four time Emmy-nominated videographer, he allowed the power of the still image to tell most every story.

After 30 years on the road, Colin then spent nearly three years in his music studio. He wrote, performed, produced and engineered the music that would became the soundtrack and the heartbeat for the documentary. Once set to his ambient score, the music literally transformed his images, and the two began to speak as one. As the only witness to his photographs, Colin knew that he was the only one who could compose the music.
