Nature and Landscape Photography
I’ve traveled so many gravel roads to find the perfect shot. No this is not the perfect shot but you just don’t see this everyday. I’m so inspired by creative people. That’s why I’m turning it over to you to add a funny caption here This photograph of this old barn was taken in Iowa.
I see the ocean as a repeated changing canvas; just take a look at my portfolio. The Rockport Harbor in Massachusetts is must see the next time you travel to the East Coast. Try the chowda and a local Ipa. I love how the clouds above the colorful sailboats look like smoke stacks. This image is called “Lazy Sunday” and available here.

I couldn’t agree more. Instead of forcing a shot, follow the light and take advantage of what’s happening right in front of you. Mission Bay Park in San Diego, California. If you’d like to purchase “The Magic Tree’ go here
I believe a photo is only as good as it’s story. My original plan was to capture a sunset shot but that went out the door as I watched this loyal dog sit at the beach for an hour until his master(dad) was done surfing. If you have ever had that love for your pet you totally get this story. “Loyal” was captured at Anini Beach in Kauai, Hawaii.

We all love spring, right? Spring means better weather, outdoor activites and beautiful color. For a couple weeks Nebraska lights up with yellow wildflowers, purple and white trees. I find myself more and more looking at what’s in front of me and making it my own. The technique is placing your camera on a tripod , slow down the shutter speed and zoom in and out during the shot. Just like all long exposure shots you never know what you are going to get.
Image taken around Monterey and won’t make the cut.
I have been photographing for 7 years now and by default there’s a pattern with all of my gallery images. If an image is going to make the cut it must have at least 4 of the 8 criteria’s shown below. Sometimes that’s not enough either.
