For over 20 years, I have used my camera and lens to try and capture the inherent beauty of nature.
Over this period of time, I have gained a tremendous appreciation and love for our country's natural beauty and wildlife.
Our National Parks and coastlines are an intrinsic theme in my work, as I look to capture unique perspectives of these beautiful landscapes.
I began my journey into photography when my uncle (and mentor) gave me my first 35mm camera; a Pentax camera sold under the Sears name brand. I knew I had found my life's passion. Through the years, since that first Pentax, I have used a variety of cameras, working my way from a more advanced 35mm system, to a 6X7, and then to a 4X5 camera, which I use today.
I have always resisted the temptations of digital photography manipulation. While I use digital as the intermediate process, to ensure consistent and reliable results, I have always been true to the original format and not used digital manipulation to add or subtract from the natural image.
As I continue to travel and explore new landscapes as well as new areas of photographic interest, I invite you to view my "Latest Images" web page, which displays my most recent photographic travels.
My photography has been displayed in a number of galleries, as well as at art shows and events in the Southern California area. For my most recent and upcoming exhibits and shows, please visit my "Exhibitions and Shows" web page.
If you have any questions or comments regarding any of my work, please don't hesitate to contact me; I'd love to hear from you!
Thank you for visiting my website and I hope you'll find it an enjoyable walk through nature's eye!
