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.
