The origin of my name means watchful or observant. I always thought that was appropriate for someone who likes to make images from what he sees. I started with photography when I was about 11 years old after receiving a hand-me-down Brownie box camera. My approach toward photography is to stop and smell the roses. It is a simplistic adage, but rings true to how I create images. I slow down and stop to see beauty in everyday objects and the natural world, and use the magic of photography to share my vision with others. While I don't expect others to necessarily see the same thing that I saw while making my photographs, my goal is that my images will evoke a special feeling, mood, or emotion for the viewer. Thank you for looking at my work. Enjoy!
Many of my color images will convert nicely to black and white. If there are any you are interested in purchasing in black and white, please contact me and I will try to accommodate you.
I am uploading new images continuously. Please follow me to see my newest pictures and feel free to leave comments.
