Welcome to my site. Photography started as a hobby for me in 2006, and it quickly turned into a passion. I spend most of my time taking pictures of wetlands near my home in south Florida. I also enjoy traveling to photograph remote locations.     

I go on these trips with two goals: To experience incredible places and to make photos that communicate the intensity of my experience to others. The first goal is relatively easy to attain. All I have to do is get there.

Striving to make photos that communicate, however, is where the real challenge begins.  For me, the challenge is to perform all the left-brain photography work while simultaneously maintaining the right-brain state of wonder.

This challenge transforms me. Rather than just being an observer, I become an active participant. I'm continually thinking about dynamic compositions, anticipating what will work, what won't work, what might work. In effect, I become a vital part of creating the scene, rather than just a passive recorder.

The transformation does not end when the trip ends. It carries over to my photography at home. The transformation becomes self-renewing, because it continually increases my desire to improve the quality of my photos.

It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long, long time to be gone
and a short time to be there
