Your Bio

I take pictures for the love and fun of it. Living in Montana presents countless opportunities to be in the presence of natural beauty. I like to bring into focus the small things that you might miss if you weren't looking.

There are many forms, mostly wild and natural that drive my inspiration, but I also admire the work of the great Ansel Adams. From The Portfolios of Ansel Adams, I found a beautiful statement dedicated by him to Alfred Stieglitz that I would like to share:

"To photograph truthfully and effectively is to see beneath the surfaces and record the qualities of nature and humanity which live or are latent in all things. Impression is not enough. Design, style, technique, - these, too are not enough. Art must reach further than impression or self-revelation. Art, said Alfred Stieglitz, is the affirmation of life. And life, or its eternal evidence, is everywhere."

"Some photographers take reality as the sculptors take wood and stone and upon it impose the dominiations of their own thought an spirit. Others come before reality more tenderly and a photograph to them is an instrument of love and revelation. A true photograph need not be explained, nor can be contained in words."

"Expressions without doctrine, my photographs are presented here as ends in themselves, images of the endless moments of the world. I dedicate them to the memory and to the spirit of Alfred Stieglitz."
