I have been infatuated with photography since I was 11 years old. At the age of 12, I bought my own movie camera and started filming everything that moved. That was 1958, a great year for V-8 automobiles and many other fast things like Craig Breedlove's land speed records on the salt flats of the Mohave Desert. For me photography was always a passion, in my blood at an early age, I was never too far from a camera.
But at the age of 15 I became seriously involved in sports. At 6'5" it was hard to deny my own abilities. I went out for football, basketball and track. By the time I graduated from high school in 1964, I had received 14 scholarship offers and set many school records in both track and field and football.
Ironically it was almost 30 years before my talent for photography would once again surface. It was in the mid 80's that I became involved with computers. Even though I began seeing the possibilities that computers offered, it was not until 1990 that I became aware of how this new frontier could change my life.
When I invested myself in exploring the power of this new technology and as consumers began to have greater access to new software and more powerful computers, the field of graphics became much more sophisticated. As programs began to take the place of manual tasks, graphic environments began to rely more heavily upon these new tools.
In the early 90's I started a desktop publishing business and that began my apprenticeship in the world of professional graphics and photography.
From the first time I experienced a digital camera it became clear that this was a new adventure that would offer unlimited possibilities to express my visions. It was early in 2000 when friends asked me, why don't you sell your Artwork? With that question came the beginning of a new dimension to my vision. Now working as a Graphic Designer and Photographic Artist, I began to express my own vision of nature's vast array of visual treasures. It has always been my hope that my work would inspire a greater appreciation for Nature and the delicate relationship we have with our environment.
Now more than ever before it would appear that ---
