Welcome to my photography website!
I am a native and current resident of the South Carolina"Lowcountry." When I am not at home I am roaming around the mountains of western North Carolina.
I have no formal photography training, just an eye for beauty, and a desire to share it.
I hope you enjoy looking at my portfolio which contains a variety of my photography.
I sell fine prints that would certainly compliment any decor. My photography is available as prints, digital downloads, note cards and other products.
Stock photography is available for publication rights.
From an early age, I was told to find my gifts and use them for God's glory. For some people it is singing, writing, teaching or athleticism.
For me, it is photography. I have always enjoyed nature, landscapes, and capturing the moment, photography provides me an outlet to experience nature and God's handiwork.
My goal is to reveal that beauty in my photos and share it with his children.
My subjects generally include nature, landscapes, waterfalls, and wildlife. In the last few years I have expanded my work to capture the other aspects of the craft to include personal portraits, weddings, family gatherings and wildlife.
Growing up, if I had to choose a role model in my continuing journey in photography, I would have to say that Ansel Adams had the most impact on my
desire to be a better photographer.
Ansel Adams, arguably was the greatest photographer in the world and I stand in awe of his work. In comparison to his work I proudly wear the title of novice photographer. Check him out, be inspired.
Lastly, this site humbly acknowledges the craft of photography, it is a hobby, a passion and I encourage everyone to enjoy this wonderful thing we call
''Photography.''
Don't take my word for it, grab a camera - any kind from a pinhole to a digital - look at the world and allow the world to see you - something painfully wonderful and profoundly amazing is about to happen.
