Through my prints and photo books, I invite you to bring bits of my stories into your life and home. New outdoor prints are released regularly, so check back often. If you sign up for updates, you will get notified about new prints or books, sales, and shows.
I am surrounded both by natural beauty opf the outdoors and interesting people. I use my camera to document the world and then print images with a focus on the magic I find in daily life. My pictures tell my stories.
My love for photography began, as my Mother described it, taking pictures of license plates in Iowa before I was seven years old with a Kodak Instamatic 100 camera. I continued to snap photos of just everyday “stuff.”
Once I started on my path as a teacher, I developed lesson plans that would incorporate photographs of the people, culture and geography of Asia, Africa and Australia into presentions using, yes, a carousel slide projector.
My love for photography and my Minolta GX-M camera would travel with us on vacations, family get-togethers, and special occasions. I was the family photographer. My wife would organize the thousands of photographs and then use them for family scrapbooks. Photography was just fun.
Now that I am retired from teaching middle schoolers. I have a great new camera and several photography lessons under my belt. It’s time for that “new chapter” in my life of outdoor photography.
