I enjoy taking photographs while exploring. Of special interest to me is the relationship between the built and natural environment and the stories that accompany these locales. Bustling cities, industrial infrastructure, main street towns, wide open spaces and endless frontiers are all settings that I like to shoot. There are so many tales and lives tied to the land (and sea), and these photographs are merely a glimpse, usually from a passerby's vantage, of what was and what may yet be. The relics - the barns, telephone poles, dusty roads, tower cranes, trucks, boats, weathervanes, windmills and more serve as cairns to guide one's interpretation of these untold and unfinished stories. The hues of the land - built, natural and often weathered - further color the story.

I'm fortunate to have seen much of America - all fifty states. I was born on the west coast and grew up on the east coast, got married and had our first son out west and second and third son back east. I've crossed the country and experienced American small towns, big cities and the places around, I’ve been lucky to travel fairly extensively internationally as well and intend to continue to add more trips. What little I do know of photography can be attributed to the best photographer that I know, my mom.

Thank you for taking the time to check out my work. If you're interested in getting in touch, feel free to contact me.
