ABOUT THE ARTIST

I'm a photographer, an IT business owner and a former high school science teacher. I believe that this unusual combination has allowed me to better understand what it takes to photograph the natural environment.

I truly enjoy the early morning and late evening hikes around our local natural areas throughout the year.  This has allowed me to photograph nature's wildflowers during the 'golden light'. I also travel annually to our national parks to photograph their annual wildflower displays. However, I always tell my friends - no matter where you live, nature has a wildflower display. You just have to know when to go outside to see it.

I was a co-founder and president and I am currently vice-president of the Linn Area Photo Club.  If you are interested in photography we invite you to join us.  We meet most months at Wickiup Hill Outdoor Education Center on the 2nd Sunday of the month at 1:30pm.   Check our website for details. Our club's motto is "Sharing Our Passion for Photography".

Six of my photographs are on permanent display in the classrooms at Linn County Wickiup Hill Outdoor Education Center.

All the photographs on this website are available as prints, matted and/or framed. Some of the images are also available as puzzles. Please contact me if you have questions.

 

PHOTOS OF THE MONTH

Below and on the Awards and Pricing pages are three of my images that I am very proud of.  Hopefully, they will make you think about the beauty of life.  Check back often as these will change.

WHY DO I TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS

"No man has the right to dictate what other men should perceive, create or produce, but all should be encouraged to reveal themselves, their perceptions and emotions, and to build confidence in the creative spirit." ~ Ansel Adams
