About Me
Welcome. I've organized my photographic work around themes. The collections of the natural world are arranged by scale, with the first being our enveloping skies and heavens, zooming down to more conventional landscapes, then zooming further to a closer-up consideration of nature's fine details.
The next collection are some of humans' colorful habitats, as they sit in the natural world. Following that is some of my experimenting to achieve a more impressionistic and abstract feel. And last are collections of particular places. With these I'm hoping to capture and convey their particular mood and spirit.
I have my father and uncles to thank for getting me started in photography. The interest in the natural world came with growing up in the rural midwest and spending time in nature - exploring, hiking and camping with family and friends. My professional career was spent focused on global family planning and public health efforts, all rooted in to address the precarious balance between the growing human population and our world's limited natural resources. Now retired, I volunteer with conservation efforts. In sharing these photographs I'm hoping to convey a bit of the awe and beauty one can find in nature.
