Thanks for stopping by! About Me
I have always loved the outdoors. Whether as a young child visiting my grandparents in the Appalachian mountains of West Virginia, or during these days at Lake Gaston, the sights and experiences of nature always stimulate my soul. After retiring from working in IT for 35 years, I now pursue my two passions: music and photography. I sense the beauty and emotion in p

hotography much the same way as I do in music. When I photograph nature, I literally go the extra mile. I hike long distances to find a gorgeous waterfall. I boat for hours searching for waterfowl on the lake. I shoot in the middle of the night or before sunrise. It's worth it, because these are the best ways to experience the outdoors. I have been a member of the Lake Gaston community for 30 years. I hope you find my work fun and inspiring!

Two recent photos show the beauty of Alaska in autumn! I took a train from Talkeetna to Denali National Park, and snapped these photos near Cantwell. I was outside the train car on the back platform, hanging on for dear life, but it was worth it!

So exiting! I just received the first of several high quality prints from Germany. These herons are printed on Fuji Crystal DP II – A Gallery Quality Photo Print. Fuji Crystal DP II is Fujicolor’s leading photo paper for gallery prints. This photo paper has an extremely wide color gamut, and is non-fade for at least 75 years.
