Artist Statement

Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote wisdom was the ability to see "the miraculous in the common."  It is my belief that far too often we rush through our daily lives failing to stop and appreciate the wonders found all around us.  The vibrant green of a spring forest, the crisp delicacy of frost crystals on a leaf,  the ever changing effect of weather on the land, and the wonderment of the many forms of life found around our world.  Photography allows me to freeze and hold these Moments in Time and share them with others to enjoy. 

 I personally produce each of my prints using a digital process to create high quality archival prints on professional photographic papers. I use little or no manipulation when creating each print. My goal is to precisely control each print and create sharp colorful images that best reflect the original moment I experienced and recorded. I believe great images are created by careful composition, creativity, and visualization at the original moment and location, not later in a computer.
