A lifetime native of Austin, Texas, I have been an avid photographer since 1995 and working towards a professional status the last several years, with an emphasis on landscape, nature, and other fine-art photography.

My vision in photography has been influenced primarily by Ansel Adams, Laura Gilpin, and Galen Rowell, with additional influence coming from Henri Cartier-Bresson, Vincent Versace, and recently, Lance Keimig. The pursuit of images with the style and luminance of Ansel Adams, and the "moment of decision" influenced by Bresson is my primary passion that I desire to share with others. The best example of this passion coming to life is shown in my authentic image, Desert Deluge, my hand-held lightning shot. I actively pursue the capture of images that all viewers may find some aspect of pleasure and inspiration.

I work with photography equipment in multiple formats, including small-format digital and film, and medium-format film, as appropriate for each subject.

Additionally, while I utilize the advantages of the digital realm for image cleanup and color conversion, I adhere to ethical and authentic standards regarding image manipulation and choose not to add objects to images when they never existed in my viewfinder(Yes, Desert Deluge is authentic).

I certainly Thank You for viewing my artwork!  Please register in my guestbook if you would like to receive email when my image gallerys are updated. Also, please send me email for any questions you may have.
