Reflections and Goals

My work as a nature photographer continues to hold me excited about nature and all of her beauty. I have discovered quite frequently that a spectacular showing of nature's wonder is but a fleeting moment. This time-based event only occurs when season, sun or moon, clouds, wind, water, and landscape resonate in perfect harmony. I often experience a rush of adrenaline watching nature rearrange her scenery. During these exciting changes, I am praying that my camera is properly set and positioned to capture this marvelous moment. Then, I'm off again in search of another landscape, with hopeful expectations of once again receiving nature's cooperation.
I use archival materials and printing techniques to preserve these images of nature to be enjoyed for years to come.
