PLEASE ASK before using my photos elsewhere.

I am pretty liberal with granting usage rights but I need to know the purpose first.

Most of my pics are straight from the scanner or camera. If I do some adjustments it's contrast, brightness, and rarely, gamma. I never use HDR, it's just too artificial for me and frankly tiresome and harsh (and flat) on the eyes.

Most of what I do is nature & landscapes but I also am known to veer into cityscapes and street. I do travel a lot so you will see a wide variety of locations represented in my portfolio.
