My photography journey began in the 3rd grade.  My mom and dad owned and operated a small photo shop in northern New Hampshire and they gave me a small Kodak Brownie 127 for Christmas . I had a ball clicking away at what ever struck my fancy..animals, friends, scenery in the Connecticut River Valley..whatever. In time Mom and Dad had me learn to process the film and print the tiny photos. As I grew older I went through numerous 35mm cameras before moving to digital and finally my current Nikon full frame digital.  Being a career Air Force officer, I was fortunate enough to travel  to many places around the world.  Initially my photos were intended to record memories of those far off places for myself and my family and to show friends some of the sights I had seen in person.  In most cases, I felt many of the photos were not much more than large postcards and fell short of being worthy of mounting and displaying on walls at home.

Today, I am a transplanted New Englander, living a short distance from Jackson Hole, Wyoming, a place that blows my mind every time my wife and I go for a ride. Living where we do and having lived in the White Mountains of New Hampshire for a number of years, nature scenes have pretty much become my automatic favorite subject to shoot, but I also truly love wildlife and historical sights, regardless of where in the world they are located.  They all have a story to tell and that’s what I try to capture  with my Nikon.

My personal challenge is to  capture the uniqueness of our surroundings, no matter where, and then to tell its story with my Nikon. I consider this  step to be a work in progress so please feel free to contact me with any suggestions how to improve my work.  Hopefully, you will find a few photos pleasing to view.

Several outstanding photographers have inspired me and certainly deserve mention;  Jay Goodrich, a neighbor and terrific multi genre photographer; Nigel Danson, a great woodland and landscape photographer; Mark Denney, a tremendous landscape and nature photographer and Mads Peter Iversen, another very talented fine arts landscape  photographer.
