Artist Statement

I grew up in the valley (Willamette valley). I spent much of my free time
 following my father in his outdoor pursuits. He was a great classic 
outdoorsman. I learned many things from him. He not just took me with 
him, but shared his love for camping, fishing, and hunting. I soon 
discovered hiking, and skiing that developed into a passion for capturing
 the beauty of the wilderness through the lens of a camera. I quickly 
became the "family photographer". Many adventures as a child brought
 me to the Central Oregon region and has allowed me to experience a 
great deal of what Oregon has to offer in natural beauty. My photographic 
                            passion continues to "develop" as I spend time hiking 
                            and climbing the rugged terrain of the cascade range. 
                            I am able to reach less frequented locations, resulting
                            in images with a unique perspective of a familiar scene. 
                            I strive to not only accurately reproduce a scene, and convey the "mood" of the moment, but to
                            create images that help build environmental awareness, and express the importance of preserving
                            the wilderness. I enjoy bringing to my viewers the intimacy of the moment and allowing them to
                            feel involved in the image. In all aspects of life there is a story to be told. I choose to tell the story
                            with my camera. Contact me for the location and date of my next showing.

                            Currently I am working on revisiting many areas of my youth. Finding the beauty that once 
                            captivated me and brought me to where I am today. This revisit is not only a celebration
of  my fathers passing, but a renewal of spirit. The resulting images will be compiled into a web gallery entitled "Youthful Impression Renewed". I look forward to sharing this compilation with you as I hope it brings you your own renewal.
