Tami B. Sojka, a Minnesota native, began exploring photography in her early twenties after receiving her first SLR camera. Over the years, her passion has grown through ongoing learning and creativity. Her connection to nature began early, spending time outdoors with friends and walking forest trails in Northern Minnesota with her father.

Having lived in California for over 20 years, Tami draws inspiration from the state’s diverse natural beauty. An avid hiker, she loves exploring and photographing California’s wild coasts, mountains, deserts, and seasonal blooms.

Her love of travel also extends into her photography, where she strives to capture the distinct character and beauty of each place she visits. Her work has appeared in exhibitions across the U.S. and abroad.

Kachou Fuugetsu — “Flower, Bird, Wind, Moon” — is a Japanese phrase that reminds us to find beauty and wisdom in nature’s quiet moments.
Through vibrant flowers, ocean tides, and the quiet presence of wildlife, the images included in this exhibit seek to reflect the interconnectedness of all life — inviting us to pause, reflect, and remember our bond with nature and each other.

In a time when so much of the natural world stands at risk, this work is both a meditation and a call to care. It offers hope and a reminder that beauty endures only through our willingness to protect it.
A portion of the proceeds from this exhibit will go to the Big Sur Land Trust, helping preserve California’s wild and sacred landscapes — places that remind us of who we are, and what we share.
