My scenic work strives to paint a feeling or mood.

This is a consuming task as I try to capture just the right mood presented to me

by nature.

That means hours and hours of waiting, searching and then capturing

just the right light and just the right image in a true image of the moment.

​​

My job is not to be the creator of the image via Photoshop, but rather

photographically document our creation.

My hope is to capture a scene in the most artistic way possible without altering

or changing that which is set before me. No fake clouds, no fake photoshop composites

and photoshop processing limited to the normal translation of the original RAW file without

changing the physical content of the image.

What you see in my nature photography is real and authentic.

​

An aside about the way I photograph. I think BIG! When I photograph a scene 

I am thinking of a print that goes at least 60 inches wide or tall--not a 2" space 

typical on social media. So...think BIG with me when you see my work! 

I  do consider our earth as God's creation and I consider each image you see as

a gift. I do not produce the scene. God's nature provides the beauty. I simply 

observe and photograph.​

​

I have developed a yearly calendar and greeting card business.

​

You will see a greeting card link at the top of this page.

When it is calendar season, that link will change to the word "calendar."

​

My most honored reward is having my work connect with people.

That has been my goal in both landscape and photojournalism.
