There are few things I find more captivating than photography. Since my parents placed an old box camera in my hands years ago, I've enjoyed traveling around the country photographing nature and wildlife - from the wide-open landscapes of the West to close-ups showing the amazing and intricate works of God. It is the light that is key to a breath-taking photograph and I will often wait for hours to capture just the right moment in time. Carrying a camera with me forces me to slow down and really "see" nature as God intended. I'm inspired by color - sometimes bold - sometimes subtle. Sunrise and sunset are my favorite times because tonal values are softer and more delicate. It's also a more peaceful time for contemplation. In recent years, I've been leaning towards the more abstract - a more daring journey - sometimes using extreme close-up techniques or sometimes a soft and delicate feel or a feeling of movement, depicting the energy of nature. While I'm largely self-taught, I've been influenced over time by such greats as Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, and more recently, Galen Rowell and Freeman Patterson. However, I feel the basic ability to "see the picture" is a gift from God. I often find myself placed at just the right place and time to capture the beauty and delicate balance of the natural world. My goal is to communicate this through my images as I'm led by our Creator to find intimate, vibrant or dynamic scenery throughout Colorado and the West. If I can create an image that engages the viewer - taking them alongside me in my journey as a photographer and revealing God's natural beauty - then my goal has been achieved. In addition to creating photographs, my passion lies in sharing my images and photographic techniques with others through my digital photography seminars and photo tours, something I've been doing for over ten years. I love it when one of my students spends an hour in the field concentration on, and photographing, just a single subject. That's when I know they "get it" and I'm wrapped in a feeling of satisfaction.
