Family, friends, and all gracious supporters,
My photography is live and available as fine art prints on Chesapeake Focus — 28 pieces, all releasing today. Wildlife and aviation: two subjects I came to appreciate through the same lens, requiring patience for the right moment.
After my service in the Marine Corps, I was able to find that feeling of excitement in the aviation community and the peace of being outdoors in Southern Maryland. The marshes along the Patuxent, Mallards lifting at dawn, Eagles above the Potomac. I found myself using the same disciplines at the flight line watching the Blue Angels dance through formations the way I watched a flock; waiting for geometry and light to align. Recognizing that perfect moment about to happen, and dialing everything in to freeze that moment in time; that’s what I live for. It is what truly drives me to pursue more challenging situations and to achieve even more vivid, emotionally captivating images.
8 wildlife pieces and 20 from the flight line are available. Chesapeake Focus provides archival prints in multiple sizes, with framing options. Limited Editions of 50 are available in both collections, numbered with a Certificate of Authenticity.
I am so grateful to the Chesapeake Focus team for the partnership, and I love and appreciate all of YOU and the support you have given me throughout my journey of cultivating my passion and continuously striving to improve my artwork.
Thank you! 📸💖
