About Us
We are Northwest photographers who simply enjoy capturing the beauty of our surroundings.  Some of our photos have appeared on Experience Washington and at Dauntless Books in Port Gamble.  Although we are local, we have also photographed the Oregon Coast, British Columbia and the sparsely photographed regions of northern Wisconsin and Michigan.  We hope you enjoy viewing our photos as much as we enjoy taking them.

My interest in photography began when I was able to start traveling independently.  To date, the bulk of my work has been outdoor/nature subjects finding inspiration in my native Midwest, New Orleans, Mexico, Europe, the west coast and the great Pacific Northwest.  Aesthetically, I find photography to be an almost parallel counterpart to my chosen profession as a musician.  Each split second of a sound wave, like an instance of reflected light, spurs both our senses and our imagination before it dissipates into the ether.  The creative process that becomes a photograph requires, like composition or improvisation, a mind ready to embrace impulses large and small, simple and complex.  This ethic informs my search to freeze the ephemeral principle of photography:  light and time.

Although my interest in photography started early in life, I didn’t pursue it as an artistic passion until recently.  Relocating from Michigan to Washington in the mid-90s rekindled my interest in photography.  It has been said that a change in scenery forces you to notice your surroundings.  My artistic goal evolved to the exploration of the patterns and textures in nature whether they are close up or far away.  I believe this is where beauty lives.  I only hope that my gratitude for witnessing it iis expressed in these photos.
