About

The desire to pursue photography was the result of colliding life interests. Born a 'fresh air junkie' I've spent much of my adult life wandering diverse wilderness with a fly rod in one hand, a camera in the other. When asked what I liked about fly fishing I'd always respond, "I like where my fly rod takes me." The same is now true with photography.

A few years back I made a wintertime visit to Yellowstone National Park. During this trip my path crossed with the Druid Peak wolf pack. For five days I followed the Druids as they wandered their territory in Lamar Valley. Being witness to this intact eco-system was an instant catalyst for change in my life. I now let the camera lead presenting the opportunity to borrow and capture nature's moments on her time.

The focus of my work is nature, wildlife and the American West. The images I create are meant to reflect the mood, spirit and personality of wild faces and wild places
