Photographer, inspired by the the beautiful world around me. Photography allows me to stop and take the time to really examine the splendor in the world around me. I am intrigued and nourished by Nature in all its forms – minuscule to magnificent. From the intimate detail of a flower, to the intricacy and symmetry of a bird’s feathers, to the many layers in a magnificent panoramic vista, I truly believe I am better for taking the time to really “see”. My photography is my attempt to capture the magic of our world and is a celebration of the world where I live and the places I’ve visited. All of my photos are captured “out in nature”, so expect to find small surprises or something unexpected in the landscape or flowers – I always do. As I like to note “there’s always a bug”! I am particularly interested in exploring the essence of the nature around us. To that end, I experiment with depth of focus to highlight a specific part of the scene that I feel captures the core of the subject. I make no attempt at documentary style imagery – I want the viewer to actually feel immersed in the image. For me, a viewer that walks away having “smelled the green” is success.
