I am a landscape photographer, fine art print maker, retired IT guy and recovering political junkie…

I am an artist who uses photography to express my vision of how I see the world around me.

Most of the work I do would be considered to be landscape photography — the sunrises and sunsets, the lakes, streams, waterfalls, woods, skies and stars in Minnesota where I live, or the boulders and rock formations of Joshua Tree where we go each year.

I do not seek to make a faithful representation of what I see — instead my goal is to create a print based on the original scene augmented by my thoughts, feelings and experiences. To quote Ansel Adams from his book The Print, “When you are making a fine print you are creating, as well as re-creating. The final image you achieve will reveal what you saw and felt.”

Finally, I do not consider a work complete until the image has been transferred to paper where it becomes a tactile thing that can be touched and held up to the light — a physical manifestation of what I envisioned when I snapped the shutter.
