Welcome! This section of my website is devoted to my "natural landscape" images. To introduce you to this section, I would like to mention a distinction I make between these images and my "photo assignments": one is fine art, the other, applied art. I consider my landscape images to be fine art, in that they are very personal visual expressions of what I experienced at specific moments. My motivation to make these images was purely internal. Once made, of course, I have enjoyed sharing them with others, but I did not concern myself with what others might think of them at the moment I made them. On the other hand, in making my "assignment" photos, I am always focused on how best to tell my clients' stories; at the end of the day, my clients must be satisfied with the images I create for them. The skills involved are much the same for both kinds of images, while my mental focus is somewhat different.

I would also like to mention that this section has several purposes:

to share with you my love of photography and nature,

to market my images as prints and for publication, and

to express my view, through visual images, that we humans are an integral part of nature and that, for our own good, we must take responsibility as conscientious stewards of the planet that sustains us both physically and spiritually; accordingly, I donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of my images for the protection of the environment.
