I have been out shooting a lot, but have not had the time to process many. However, I especially like this one of some Dartmoor ponies, which you will find if you […]

A new image in my continuing series “Among the Trees,” and one of three that sold during the reception for my solo show at the Ledgewood Creek Winery. I’m delighted how it turned out, especially with the oak trees in the background. The color and appearance of the background wasn’t achieved with just the tree […]

This passing year for me has marked a turning point with my photographic imagery. Beginning in 2012 I made the choice to photograph more what is a passion of mine, with that being to capture the spirit of the horse. This year my catalog of images has brought me to the beginnings of creating three […]

  Entering a juried competition is somewhat of a crap shoot, as you never know what the judge will select for the show. Nevertheless, I am honored to have my image, “Among the Trees #2” accepted by the Center of Photographic Art to hang in their 2014 Jury Exhibition. It goes without saying that this organization has […]

I love England, there is just something about the antiquity of it; from the quaint villages and old pubs, to the narrow winding roads that meander through the lush green countryside, and oh yes, let me not forget a creamed tea.

I’ve recently returned from a wonderful trip to Alaska, but I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed as I look through the images from my adventure. I almost don’t know where to begin. We had perfect weather, of which produced incredible light that made the scenics startling beautiful, almost surreal at times. The trip was only a […]

I have been getting some nice press recently thanks to internet sites that use Facebook as a way to market their business and sites that bring awareness to a non-profit. The interesting thing is you don’t always know that this is going on unless someone happens to mention that they read something about you online. […]
