I create images that celebrate the spirit and beauty of the American Landscape, and like my father before me, photography is my passion and my career. I am less interested in the literal landscape photography that only records the natural environment, than in the emotions and feelings that wilderness and wild places inspire and perhaps, present a feeling of mystery.   With decades of dedication to the craft, my photography reflects a mastery of technique and a deep connection to nature. I work to capture those moments where camera and life come together to create a feeling that’s authenticate and real, and although the stories I tell through my photography may vary, my dedication to finding beauty and originality is constant.

Working from my home/studio in southern Chester County, PA, I print beautiful archival prints. Laying the ink onto a beautiful natural, heavy paper makes for a sensational visual experience. The papers I use captures my images with an unparalleled vibrancy.   After printing I leave a border around the edge of the image and each piece is signed and numbered, insuring its identity and future value. Included with the print is a certificate of authenticity.     For framing, I use American hardwood frames, and for matting I use crescent mat board which is 100% made in the USA. Finally, unlike some people that use acrylic, I use conservation glass. Overtime acrylic is prone to scratches and is difficult to keep clean. Galleries and museums only use glass not acrylic. All those qualities do come at a cost, but it’s important to me to use the very best materials available.
