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 […]

This image, “Along for the Ride,” was recently included in the online magazine,”Horse and Driver,” on page 44, in the link below.

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. If I wasn’t so encumbered, I would love to drop everything and move there […]

This picture makes me smile……… maybe it’s because I was there, but I think anyone who is a dog lover will see something special in this image. A few weeks ago, I noticed something unusual on a large parcel that we view below our house. This parcel had been dry farmed, and on it was […]

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 […]

Over the last couple months almost all the pictures I have taken have been exclusively of horses. Not surprisingly, that includes a few thousand edited images that have taken me to the pageantry of a Draft Fest, the warm light in the stalls at Pebble Beach, the stunning movement of the Leopard horses of Access Adventure, […]

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. […]

In the early hours on April 26, under a full moon, this beautiful filly came into the world. Being able to photograph this new born when she was only hours old gives you a front row seat into the tender bonding that takes place between mare and foal. From the birth process complete in 20 […]

With the intent of exploring some new places, I headed out early to Elkhorn Slough and Moss Landing. After coming over the hill from sunny Carmel to find the Monterey […]

For the last year, adjacent to a highway I travel frequently, I have noticed in passing a herd of Clydesdale horses that began with two and has grown to eight now. I have oftened wondered if they are a retired herd of the famous Budweiser horses, but I have never stopped for a closer look, […]

What is it that draws me to creating photographic imagery; in asking myself that question reveals a very simple answer…….. beauty. The countless hours spent escaping into my peaceful search for what is beautiful to me is a labor of love. It may not be a subject search in the literal sence, but rather the […]

Producing some images for an upcoming shown entitled “The Love Show,” I had to decipher what “love is” and depict it photographically. Certainly on a personnel level love can be defined by each of us in a different way. It may bring to mind visions of a fond memory from another place and time, moments […]

On a resent trip to Hawaii I became mesmerized watching a pond of Koi fish, which ultimately lead to this photo composite. They were so beautiful in the sunlight with their vibrant colors and various patterns. I’m certain they are like snow flakes, where no two alike. As I watched them swim my intent behind […]
