Photographs are not literal interpretations of the world around us.  They are a reflection of the artist’s vision at the moment the image was created.  Even in this digital age, the elements of a successful image are still the same.  Art is about communication.  By using digital and traditional tools, my goal is to re-create the mood I felt about the scene I saw in front of the camera, not just document it.  I attempt to use the expressive qualities of color, tones, and the subject matter itself to achieve that goal. 

I have included some older work on this website, but it is not its focus.  I created this site as a place to capture the changes in my work as I (hopefully) grow my vision over time.  My plan is to update the galleries regularly, showing what I believe to be my best work.  I hope you come back often.
