In case you haven’t noticed, things are changing. By “things”, I mean for most of us, the season. There are little details; it’s not as warm in the morning and not as blistering hot as it was two, three weeks ago. And then there’s the undeniable sign, the one that makes my blood curdle every […]
Jambo, On May 31st, I left with a group of 10 photographers for a 10-day Photo Safari to Kenya, Africa. During our time in Kenya, we went to all the major Game reserves, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Masi Mara. In total, we traveled over 1,200 kilometers. The goal was to see as much […]
Jambo, Like most photographers, I have a “Bucket List”; a set of locations that I want to photograph before I kick the bucket. Africa has always been on that list, and it was at the top. This last June 1st I got to mark that one as done. The safari I signed on for was a 10-day […]
I always had a knack for the idea of infrared, from the first moment I saw photos derived of infrared film cameras, though did not pursue it out of the sheer complication of the technology at the time.

For better or worse, I am known for my color photographs. The great majority of them come in two flavors: both softly lit, warm-toned images made with the sun near the horizon, whether morning or evening, and bright, contrasty, saturated shots. However, my roots have always been in Black & White. Like most of us […]
What if I told you I visited a mythical castle, .. in the Colorado mountains. No, I wasn’t sampling the local legal organic crop. There really is a medieval style Castle, named Bishop Castle outside of Pueblo Colorado in the mountains. And, . . . it is not a small sand castle, but rather […]
For me, the beauty of photography is in the interpretation of subject matter, not in the attempt at representing the “reality” of subject matter, an impossible goal. I chose to make this image with my IR camera to lighten the leaves on the trees, at Saqsaywaman in Cusco, Peru, in order to give a feeling […]
