Mission Statement: I try to get a painterly quality in my work, subjects that can be quite simple but never ordinary, whether found in a park near my home or halfway around the world. Due to this predeliction, I feature bold colors in my images where appropriate, and this is apparent from the pictures in my online gallery. People often ask whether the colors in my images are "real". The images are all accurate reflections of the locations they depict, albeit mostly under ideal conditions and until recently, using Kodak E100VS and Fuji Velvia films. I now photograph digitally using Canon EOS digital SLRs. The website images generally convey the same impression as the inkjet prints would show. Hopefully, the image galleries provide respite for people surfing the Internet in search of interesting visual depictions of nature.

   I do not provide any anecdotal or contextual information about the images on this website, such as how I encountered the subject or details about camera settings in capturing the image. Each individual has his/her own perception of beauty, and these images represent my view. They are by no means "stock" photographs, and I do not do stock photography. A photographer's eye for beauty is his most important asset. I often don't know how to explain the appeal (or lack thereof) of my images, I simply offer to share them.
