My passion is to capture, through photography, the beauty, wonder, and mystery that surrounds.

This passion started early in my life.  When I was seven years old, my family moved from the city to the country and the moment that influenced the direction of my photography happened soon after this move.  I remember going outside on a sunny winter morning.  There had been a freezing rain during the night and when I looked into the trees, I saw sunlight glistening on ice covered branches.  I had never seen anything like that; it was amazing.  I remember wishing I had a camera to capture that moment.  My wish for a camera came true when I was ten and my love of photography began.    

My photography is still driven by that original wish to capture the moment - to capture the feeling and spirit of the scene I am witnessing.  My photography includes wildlife, landscapes, and cityscapes.  I believe beauty, wonder and mystery can be found whether taking wildlife and landscape shots in the middle of a winter blizzard or cityscapes on a summer morning.   My goal is for others, through my photography, to experience the feeling and spirit of these moments.
