I look at things that most people would pass by without a second thought, and find simple beauty in ordinary scenes. Incredible places like the Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Red Rock all have stunning scene, which have inspired many for decades. But my focus is on the hidden, the subtle, and the ordinary. Perhaps since I myself am somewhat ordinary, I find satisfaction in showing how the ordinary has
hidden beauty that goes unnoticed. My method of photography is to explore my surroundings. making mental notes of my observations, then convert these observations into images with my camera. I explore my surroundings by hiking through the national forests, state parks and nature areas, or just by riding around the countryside finding scenes that I find interesting. I like to explore scenes with barns, fences, rock formations, fog and flowers, just to name a few. Its how I see these subjects linked together that I believe makes a scene interesting. I also employ a relatively new photography method called High Dynamic Range (HDR). This method uses multiple images taken at different exposures to create an evenly balanced image with lots of depth.
