45th Parallel Photography My images are crafted with intention, rich color, and gallery quality detail designed to anchor a room and spark conversation. I have always loved photography.

From dramatic cityscapes to intimate lifestyle portraits, I turn moments into artwork that will enrich your home's decor. Even as a small child, I would set up props and backdrops and models, and take what I called "special effects" shots, using my grandmother's old 1940s Kodak. I wanted to share with others something that I saw, my vision, so to speak. As I grew up, I always had my camera with me, whether it was a Polaroid or Yashika or Kodak, a camera was never very far from my reach. I am equally at home shooting landscapes with magnificent sunsets, the rising moon over a mountain, an intimate closeup of a bee collecting pollen, or the simple joy on a child's face as they see someone or something they love. I shoot for the sheer fun of it, and the enjoyment and satisfaction I get from creating something memorable and lasting. Thank you for visiting and I hope you enjoy my photos. And if there is anything here that sparks your imagination, something that you''d like to be created specifically for you, please let me know, and let's discuss it.

Almost three weeks ago, on September 27, I was 3000 miles from home, and unexpectedly caught in a Nor'easter as I made my way to Maine's famous Portland Head Lighthouse. My timing to visit this location, typically, was not the best. Gale-force winds were reported and the rain was horizontal and stung the skin as it hit.

Almost as soon as I jumped from the car, I was completely drenched. I had to shield the lens with a cloth, fire off a burst of shots, then wipe it down, then try again. Over and over again.

After about two minutes of squinty-eyed, gritted-tooth photography, I had had enough and hightailed it for the car.

I knew I had probably gotten something, even if it wasn't the sunny and peaceful image I had hoped for. But I wouldn't know for sure until later that night when I had time to review the pictures.

Getting this shot was definitely an adventure, and one I soon won't forget.
