BACK WHERE IT ALL BEGAN………

When I think back on when this one time hobby became a passion, I’m reminded of the first trip to Alaska that my wife Trish and I took. I met a photographer who specialized in wildlife photography. He convinced us to join he and his wife on a float trip through a Bald Eagle Preserve on the Chilkat River. We saw easily a hundred that day nesting and searching for salmon. I was envious of the images he captured and wanted to create similar shots. Upon our departure we happened upon an Alaskan Black Bear feeding on Salmon in the Chilkat. We rushed out to capture this event. I was hooked. I became obsessed with the thrill of capturing Nature and being able to share what I had seen. Since that time my focus has expanded to include landscapes from some of the most iconic locations. Most recently the beauty of Vermont and the magnificent vistas of Kauai.

I’ve likewise included some images from my classes I teach at Atlanta Dog Trainer in Dock Diving. These pups are driven to pursue a toy at tremendous speed and distances well past 20’

I hope this website provides an accounting of some of the things I have been able to capture. Not just in my travels, but in many cases, in my own backyard or various bodies of water only minutes away.
