My primary objective is to highlight the beauty of our created world; to experience God's creative hand through images of nature and wilderness; to share thoughtful insights; and to inspire and encourage introspection through the power of God's Word. Through the utilization of light, shadow, color, line, form, mood and element, this vision is one I continually work to develop and refine. I enjoy l
ooking for artistic composition in the simple as well as the complex, the actual and the abstract, the expansive and the intimate. Photography is a medium that is wholly compatible with my primary desire, which is to experience, explore and share the beauty of our created world. Being an avid outdoors enthusiast, and one who relishes the opportunity to interact with nature and wilderness; photography enables me to go out often in search of natural subjects in order to uplift, refresh and inspire my spirit. By doing so, I find that our Heavenly Father - the ultimate artist - has provided infinite subjects to be marveled by. These amazing and inspiring subjects, many fleeting, are always present out there whether or not any human eye happens to be present to witness them. This being the case, I most often work in the natural landscape, but also truly enjoy photographing wildlife as well as interesting historical locations and other special places of interest. Being a banker by profession, photography provides me with an ability to gain release from the frenzied pace of the working world, as well as to express and share my inner vision through this engagement with the natural world.
