“For many days I traveled from a distant place and time to reach a place they call the planet Earth.

There was to be a celebration.

The planet Earth, from way up there, is beautiful and blue, and floating softly through a rainbow. But when you touch down things looks different here...”

I relate to this verse from an old ELO (Electric Light Orchestra) song, because as a full time photographer I’m conditioned to paying attention to each moment. Even when I’m without my camera I feel like an alien observer must feel - watching life unfold before me, understanding very little, but watching nevertheless.

Home based in southern Oregon, I’m creative and nimble with a couple of quality digital cameras, some fun lenses, and a fully equipped digital darkroom. I’m relatively free to travel just about anywhere. Open to most any type of assignment, I relish the challenge of finding that special angle, atmosphere and light hidden within the parameters of each assignment or subject.
