I create images that celebrate the spirit and beauty of the American Landscape, and like my father before me, photography is my passion and my career. I photograph places that are meaningful to me, and sometimes that inspiration can come from unlikely places. In a world of solidity and structure, the silence of the desert, the play of light and shadow, and the forces of wind and water resounds with images that are stirring, touching, and profound. I work to capture those moments where the camera and life come together to create a feeling that’s authenticate and real, and although the stories I tell through my photography may vary, my dedication to finding beauty and originality is constant.

I am frequently seen participating in Fine Art festivals up and down the east coast showing my work and discussing the finer aspects of landscape photography which ties in perfectly with my desire to share my passion and appreciation of the beauty of our surroundings through photography.

In the Loupe

Taos Pueblo has been inhabited for at least a thousand years. The adobe architecture seems to spring, organic, from the earth at the foot of Taos Mountain. It’s a UNESCO World Heritage site, but a living community, not a museum.  A small stream runs through the heart of the Pueblo, known as Red Willow Creek or Rio Pueblo de Taos. The stream begins high in the Sangre de Cristo mountains, at the tribe’s sacred lake, Blue Lake. A traditional belief among the Taos Pueblo people is that their ancestors originated from the waters of this lake and they refer to themselves as the Red Willow People. The creek flows gently through the Pueblo. It provides the water essential for life here: drinking, cooking, bathing and for religious activities. Even in the depths of winter, which is harsh at this height above sea level, it never completely freezes.
