About the
Photographer |
|
|
I
have lived in the Pacific Northwest
since the early 1960s, and have always
been amazed by the beauty and grandeur
of my surroundings. The Alpine beauty
of Mt Rainier, the wonders of the waters
of Puget Sound and the desert of eastern
Washington, all with in a short distance
of travel, a virtual photographers
wonderland. |
|
I
started out with a Brownie 127 from
Kodak when I was about 10 years old, and
graduated to couple of digital camera
when they first came out. My friends,
and computer clients, told me that my
photos were great when I was taking them
with inexpensive cameras. |
|
I
got serious about photography a few
years ago and purchased a Nikon D200
Digital SLR Camera, and when the D300
came out, I knew I just had to have it.
Several thousand pictures later, and
many photographs sold, I feel I have an
eye for what most people are looking for
in a photograph. |
|
Among my most notable sales was one to a
client who bought three of my cityscapes
of Seattle for his den. Then told
me that he had purchased several photos
from Ansel Adams, and that my photos
would hang next to them. Since
that time, Hyundai, one of the largest
corporations in the world, bought a
photo I took while on the Kingston Ferry
of one of their freighters coming out of
Puget Sound with Mt Rainier and Seattle
in the background. |

When
I touch up a photo, my goal is not to
make it look unreal, keeping it as
natural looking as possible. I always
get a kick out of people who say; “Your
camera takes great pictures”. When it
comes down to it, anyone can take
pictures with a digital or film camera.
However, I believe it is not the camera,
it's the person with the eye behind the
viewfinder. |

I
wish to thank my wife, Pam
for creating this great web page.
I love what I do, and that makes it all
worthwhile! |

Thank you for visiting my site and I
hope you enjoy viewing my photographs, |
