Artist Statement:
Artist's Statement
I am inspired primarily
by my reverence for nature. My
pictures come from many
places, such as my native
Virginia and other states I
have visited, notably the
southwest landscapes of
Arizona and New Mexico. I love
the challenge of photographing
animals: birds - especially
baby birds and their nests -
butterflies, cats, deer, and
so on. I am fascinated by the
power of the camera to freeze
moments which pass so quickly
they are easily missed. These
include not only living things
such as flowers and trees
blowing in the wind, but also
rocks, cliffs, clouds, and
landscapes as they are changed
by wind, storms, and shadows
in shifting sunlight from
sunrises to sunsets and
twilight.
Although nature
photography is my first love,
I also enjoy taking portraits,
and happily take commissions
for special photographic or
graphic projects. When
choosing which of my thousands
of images to offer as limited
edition Giclée prints, I look
for a spiritual quality,
dramatic composition and
sumptuous color. Whether you
choose to order prints or are
simply here to browse, I hope
you enjoy the pictures I
exhibit.
