My photos are available as prints, greeting cards and prints on canvas or acrylic.

The Three Amigos // Three American White Pelicans hanging out on the Columbia River in Pateros, Washington. Every fall I make a quick trip to the central part of the state to photograph these amazing birds that have become one of my favorites.

American White Pelicans // There's a great spot to photograph American White Pelicans at Chief Joseph Dam in Bridgeport, WA. The birds like to hang out on some rocks just offshore in the Columbia River and you can get great photos of them with a telephoto lens. These photos were taken with a 600mm telephoto lens and cropped (zoomed in) a bit on the computer when I processed them.

American White Pelican // I found Pelicans to photograph in two places in central Washington this week, Pateros and the Chief Joseph Dam in Bridgeport. I really like the way the sun backlights this scene and reflects off the water and how you can see the light shining through the pelican's throat pouch. This bird was one of seven that were swimming in the Columbia River scooping fish out of the shallow water near the city park in Pateros, WA.

White Pelican // Fun day photographing American White Pelicans on the Columbia River yesterday at Chief Joseph Dam in Bridgeport, WA. Every time I see these birds I'm amazed at how big they are--one of our biggest flying birds, they re bigger than a bald eagle.
