A native of the Pennsylvanian Appalachians, I am a wilderness photographer presently located in Park County, Colorado. A wildlife habitat geospatial analyst by profession, I use my professional background to plan and map technical shoots, and I use my knowledge of natural patterns and processes to tell a richer story of grand landscapes, nightscapes, and intimate natural scenes that embody the spirit of the natural world.
I strive to share my experiences of our remaining natural landscapes at all scales and during day and night to capture the true essence of wild places. I enjoy capturing the awe of sweeping landscapes to introduce viewers to the natural landscape, but I revel in telling a more complete story of untrammeled places by creating smallscapes and abstracts to add depth to the breadth of grand landscapes. I love using my camera to illuminate the invisible beauty of nightscapes, ghostly vegetation in the near infrared spectrum, and capturing natural phenomena to satisfy my passionate curiosity about the natural world. While I must plan for capturing ephemeral events and my geographic intuition tends to place me in spectacular locations at ideal times, my style is generally more perceptive and opportunistic off the beaten path. In sharing my experiences of the natural world, I hope others build a better appreciation of our wild places and create their own experiences in nature.
