I am a nature photographer who loves to help others make beautiful photographs. My photography interests are varied and range from landscapes to wildlife. Photography provides a creative outlet and an escape from the corporate world in which I spent nearly all of my adult life. I photograph landscapes, wildlife, and nature for the purpose of capturing a moment in time that when revisited, portrays the natural beauty of the places I visit and the creatures that live there. My goal is to not merely provide a visual and technical documentation of the scene in front of my lens. Rather, I try to render the scene in an artistic and creative way that not only provides context to the image, but also captures the feeling and essence of the moment.
When I shoot wildlife, I attempt to capture the subject engaged in normal behavior and in their natural habitat. My wildlife photography articulates the beauty and context of the creature. To the greatest extent possible, I avoid influencing behaviors by my presence. I will not bait or call wildlife and I will not stage a photograph. In addition to wildlife, I frequently shoot landscapes. I enjoy large, grand landscapes that are frequently found in our National Parks. I shoot in both color and black & white. The goal of my landscape photography is to capture the drama and beauty of the natural elements with which we are blessed.
This blog is dedicated to sharing my photography experiences with others with similar interests. I encourage you to provide feedback and comments as well as critique of my images. Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to contact me.
