I have been passionate about photography since I bought my first used camera in 1973. My natural sense of wonder and curiosity about the world drive me to approach life with a sense of awe and a desire to learn, explore, and visually document my experiences in photographs.

I find immense joy in capturing images of the fleeting moments of dramatic light and weather that make breathtaking photographs truly special.

I relish exploring diverse places, environments, and cultures. I appreciate every aspect of photography, from meticulously planning trips and scouting locations to the travel involved, capturing shots in the field, and finally post-processing the images to share on social media or in a gallery.

While my primary interests lie in landscapes, travel, wildlife, and street photography, I’m always eager to seize opportunities and shoot anything that piques my interest.
