Wanting to share the beauty of nature with others, I dove into photography and have not looked back since. As a medium, photography allows me to create art in my own way by depicting nature as I see it through the use of different lenses, shutter speeds, apertures, and composition. I strive to keep my final image as close to what I saw and felt in person as possible, and as such, with the exception of cropping, minor color work, and minor contrast work I generally avoid altering my photographs with a heavy hand. I have been published in many major magazines such as Birder's World, Delaware Beach Life Magazine, and Nature's Best Student Edition. I also sell prints and rights for other editorial usage quite frequently. Now living in northern Virginia, I get out to photograph, kayak, mountain bike, backpack, or just take a hike as frequently as I can. Thank you for visiting my website; I hope you enjoy my work.
