About Me
From distant lands to backyard habitats, nature exhibits its beauty in unique ways, providing abundant opportunity to enjoy "spaceship earth". Like many before me, my photographic goal is to help "give a voice" to the land and its inhabitants, (quoting a John Denver lyric) in my own small way.
Always enjoying nature photography, I often visualized photographic opportunities while driving many miles in my previous sales career. Schedules precluded the time needed to convert the visualized image to film. My interest, though, in both photography and the natural environment never waned. On Friday, October 13, 2006, I took an early retirement from Motorola to pursue this photographic passion full-time.
As a self-taught published landscape nature photographer, I use only professional quality Canon equipment. Four nature categories are my primary focus: lakes and rivers, landscapes and scenics, trees, and wildflowers. Much of my work is Wisconsin flavored, supplemented with western national parks.
Publishing credits include: National Wildlife, Wisconsin Trails, Country Extra, Weekly Reader, Scholastic, AAA Living (Wisconsin), Smokies Life (Great Smoky Mtn Assoc), Northern Woodlands, Wildflower, Destinations, E the Environmental Magazine, Door County Visitor Guide, local advertising billboard, candy bar wrapper & poster promotion, books, documentary film (still image), national environmental educational publications, wall murals, web sites, and additional publications through stock agencies. A complete listing of photo credits is available upon request.
