Welcome to my online galleries. I hope that these photographs reflect a personal witness to the simple grandeur of creation and the miracles that surround us in the natural world. Light, time, and weather on the landscape stir up fleeting conditions that may never be repeated. May you find a richness and subtlety in these images as you view the vivid colors, tonalities and forms.    With the proliferation of social networking sites, photo enhancing plugins and digital technology in general, photography continues to undergo a monumental revolution. This technology has had many wonderful benefits. However, it also carries with it the potential to misrepresent the natural world as seen through the lens of the photographer, by the use of digital manipulation. Certainly, the improper alteration of natural photographs can only serve to erode the trust that generations have held for the photographic image.    There is a wonderful quote by Ansel Adams where he proclaims, not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs. Those sentiments were accurate twenty years ago— but this is sadly no longer the case. I strongly believe standards for honesty in photography must be recognized and preserved. Attempting to enhance the magic of nature by altering what was before the camera would make a mockery of the sublime power of God’s creation and the inspiring legacy of masters from Giorgio Sommer to Ansel Adams, in whose footsteps we follow.
