About the Book
How the scene was rendered is what elevates this work from the ordinary. From corner to corner, the frame is filled with exacting sharpness and abundant detail. Design elements such as space, shape, value, and texture are employed to direct the viewer’s eye both into and around the image. The resulting photography is the dynamic coordination of two dimensional movement, three dimensional depth, and a perfect time of day.
Many of the images in this book were found from the open air seat of my bicycle, riding aimlessly looking for the right spot. And whether captured in silver halide crystals or digital ones and zeros, the resulting photographs display a rich tonal range and sharp edge that invites the viewer to enter each frame.

About the Creator
Someone once made an observation that all I seemed to photograph were trees and buildings. The two subjects would eventually come to represent different ways of looking and interpreting. For buildings, intricate composition and a rich black and white tonal range combine to impart a timeless quality. But in my trees, look for fewer details, more natural lines, and less obligation to the subject. In a more literal sense, no description of me is complete without a mention of home in Wichita, Kansas. It's there at Wichita State University that I discovered the allure of photography. Eventually, I found my way to Chicago's Columbia College. Then it was only a matter of time before Chicago's landscape cast it's spell over me. Now, with the city's forms and lines firmly in my vocabulary, I help architects and designers dramatically communicate their projects as well as provide art patrons with inspiring imagery.
