Introduction Creating this body of work has taken me to some of the most extraordinary places on this planet! I have traveled through countless remote and wild places trying to capture the very essence of that place in a photograph. When I search out a location where nature’s majesty sings and all of the rugged and wild elements give no false premise of their power, I become enveloped in the creative process. My composition is made according to the play of light that will define the moment. When the decisive moment is realized and I pull the shutter release cable, I exhale and time STOPS! The world and its wonderful stimulus cease for a brief moment leaving only my eyes to engrain the feeling of that moment! When I bring that magical moment to the darkroom and create the final print, you are experiencing everything taken in at that moment. You are feeling the connection with our planet and the exciting and healing emotions it invokes. Every image I release to a fine art print has been meticulously selected from thousands of exposures. Each of the images you see here are the very best nature has shown me!
