Summary
Artist's Bio: After a long career in the communications industry, I decided to take a different path, and turn a hobby into a profession. My areas of focus are travel, nature, and wildlife, however I am practiced in portraiture, studio, and commercial photography. Some of my many influences are Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, Galen Rowell, my professors, and colleagues. I try to capture or build an image in a unique way, or render a familiar image in the manner we are used to seeing it but improving upon what has come before. I want to elicit emotion from the viewer, and hopefully even take them to the familiar or unvisited place I present. I believe in giving back, so over the years I have donated my work and time to various non- profit organizations. For the past nine years, I have used my photographs to highlight the plight of underserved children by providing pro-bono services to A Childhood for Children (www.achildhoodforchildren.org).
