Welcome to my nature photography website. If you live in Humboldt County, California, I might be able to show you my matted prints in person, depending on your location. Please email me to arrange a meeting or call (707) 840-0876.

I began backpacking into wilderness, in Yosemite's Tenaya Canyon, when I was ten. I went from simple, Kodak box cameras in high school to a twin lens Rolleiflex in college (and, later, a single lens Rollei 6006). Now I use 35mm equipment which works best for me when out on the trail or hiking cross-country. I use a Nikon FM2 and scan the film.

Sometimes I'm asked if I "manipulate" my images. I do, often to make the image better match what I recall photographing or to recapture more of the complete experience I had. When one's breath is taken away by beauty in nature, it's more than just a visual perception; more than "mere" perception is happening. A two-dimensional photograph can't recreate that but only suggest it. Still, I don't adjust much more than darkness or bightness, color hue and saturation, and contrast to make my images better approximate what I experienced.

I ship matted prints throughout the United States. If you have any questions, please email me.

Unmatted prints can be ordered from this website, using the shopping cart link above each enlarged image.
