I love photography, of course, but besides that, I'm in to motorcycling, canoing in the wilderness, traveling, camping, art, writing (author of two published books), meditation, bicycling, and doing my part to try to help promote world peace.

It is my belief that when a photographer takes a picture, it should be for the reason of sharing with the world what he/she sees at that moment, not only through the eyes, but with the heart. I feel, this is what makes a photograph "alive." The photo should reveal something about the photographer, bringing the viewer into the photographer's world.

It is my intention to do just that, bring you into a segment of my world through my photography. In so doing, you will feel my joy, my pain, my happiness and my sadness and much more. I want to leave my mark for others to see and to know something about my existence, for without some form of evidence revealing that I was here, my life may have been in vain. Enjoy.

Blessings
