Hello friends! I’m a 63-year-old nature photographer currently living in Colorado and Iowa. My passion is to capture the beauty and drama of the world, and to share it with others using various mediums. Purchasing my art will hopefully bring you joy, wonder, hope and a closer connection to Earth’s mysteries.
I recently retired from a fantastic IT career and have embraced being part of the technology transformation our world experienced over the last few decades. I’m also learning how to paint, which is a huge learning curve but has many similarities to photography!
We all have our own perspectives and reality, and I invite you to step into mine for a closer look at this magnificent place we call home. Now it’s time for art, exploration, travel and making new friends in the NFT space, IRL and whatever other worlds we can meet in!
It’s truly a blessing to know artists half my age, and to watch NFT friends grow into their true selves through art. We are in a renaissance and must embrace it with all our energy. Don't let age and experience hold you back from being your true self when you pursue something you care about.
Besides purchasing prints here, please take a look at some of my work available on the ETH and Solana block chains. And if you ever need any life advice or want to discuss anything, I’m always open to helping wherever I can.
Wishing you all the happiness and prosperity this world can bring you!
ARTIST STATEMENT
Nature photography has a special place in my heart since it may take a lifetime to fully understand the balances, forces, changes, inner workings and power of Nature. It's an honor and challenge to interpret and represent the natural world through a lens, to share it with others, and to understand its powerful ability to transform and change.
I use a variety of techniques to create digital and film images...at times using High Dynamic Range techniques if the scene has high contrast, or blending exposure-bracketed photos to layer the best of each one...but every once in a while, magic will happen and one shot captures the essence of a scene. In those moments, light is usually the single most influential element, and it becomes a wonderful experience that is hopefully conveyed to the viewer.
My photography has been described as portraying nature in an honest, dramatic and beautiful way, and I look forward to sharing it with you!
