Artist Statement

ARTIST STATEMENT
Photographing nature is my way of documenting the world around me. The beauty and magic are often hard to describe; but capturing a still image allows me the ability to share interesting moments or animal features that are often overlooked in real time.

Taking an intriguing wildlife photograph is not easy BUT, once in a while.... after putting myself in the right location, at the right time of day, in just the right light, I apply all the technical knowledge I've learned and patiently wait - often hours in the same position. Then....with a touch of luck, nature rewards me with a great image to share with others.

Biography

As a Nature Photographer, with a fascination for exploring the outdoors, I love to travel to wild and remote places. My interest in nature started at an early age with family visits to our National Parks. In high school, I dabbled in photography but it wasn't until 2003 that I began, in earnest, to practice my camera skills as a way to capture and share my love of wildlife. Living along the coast of Florida, puts me in the center of one of the most popular birding locations in the country.


My work has been published in the Tierra Verde Living Magazine, Fish Alaska Magazine, on the cover of the Annual Kenai Peninsula Sports, Rec & Trade Show brochure and multiple regional calendars.

My work can be seen at my studio in The Factory, St Pete.
