I approach photography with the goal of recording a scene of natural beauty at a decisive moment so I may then share my experience with the world. I am drawn to beautiful landscapes and prefer to photograph them under extraordinary lighting, weather, or at least a special season. For me a strong composition of an impressive place becomes a compelling photograph only when the timing is perfect too!

My methodology is based in tradition and modern technology. I use an old fashioned large format view camera to make exposures onto big sheets of color print film. This process is contemplative and slow, but the resulting quality is awesome. Whenever possible I adhere to the architectural photography practice of keeping the camera's rear standard vertical while using adjustments to render an undistorted perspective of each scene. Later, I scan the developed negatives and use digital procedures to correct the colors and contrast, making my photographs faithfully convey what I observed in the field. My hybrid analog-capture / digital-processing technique produces images and large photographic prints of stunning clarity and realism.
