Landscape and wildlife photographer, based in Indiana.

I am a retired engineer, father, friend and explorer. I enjoy exploring our natural wonders to find peace in nature and to photograph the beautiful landscapes and amazing wildlife that we share the land with. I hope that the images that I capture tell a story for anyone who views them.

My passion for photography began when I was in the US Army and stationed in Germany. I purchased an Olympus OM-2 and photographed the beautiful castles and churches throughout Europe. Decades later, my son would use that same camera when studying photography in high school! Now, I have moved on to mirrorless cameras and currently use a Sony A1 as my camera of choice, though I have no preference on brands. For me, it is nature itself and the art of photography that are the critical elements.

I currently live in Indiana and photograph throughout the midwest and take photography trips throughout North America. Previously, I lived in California and travelled extensively through the west coast, the mountain states, and the western states to explore and to photograph. I have also travelled to Alaska twice. Once on a motorcycle all the way to Prudhoe bay, the second time more comfortably in a SUV. Both times were amazing trips and I will return.

I will continue to explore and observe the beauty in nature while advocating for the ethical use of our environment and the protection of our natural resources. I have completed projects for and provided images to outdoor , nature, and environmentally focussed organizations.

I enjoy teaching and mentoring others on their journey with nature and photography. I have recently started a YouTube channel where I share my passion for photography and the outdoors. In my training, I utilize the concept of the three key elements for nature photography :

  • Artistic - Creativity, composition, telling a story with an image

  • Nature - Knowledge of the subject

  • Technical - How to use your gear to capture the image you desire

Please contact me if I can assist you with your photography needs.
