I have always enjoyed taking pictures, from the Kodak Brownie that I had in grade school to the new digital cameras of today.

During the late seventies and through the eighties, you could find me flying hot air balloons, always with a camera or two at my side.  My images have been published in the Albuquerque International Balloon Festival calendars numerous times.

In the 1990s, I was introduced to digital cameras at work.  After retirement I have had time to renew my long-time passion for photography.   I turned to newer equipment — Canon Digital SLR cameras, image stabilized lenses, and Canon iPF 5100 & 6400 printers. I was able to combine photography with my love of travel and bird and animal watching, which I now have more time to indulge.

The main focus of my photography is wildlife, but I do take a few landscapes. My images are available at Viewpoint Photographic Art Center, Sacramento, and Sutter Street Artists Gallery, Folsom, California.

I am a member of North America Nature Photography Association, National Association of Photoshop Professionals, Sacramento Fine Arts Center, Viewpoint Photographic Art Center, Folsom Art Association, Sutter Street Artists, Sierra Camera Club and Gold Rush Chapter of Photographic Society of America.

My images have received numerous awards including Juror’s Award: KVIE Art Auction 2014; Best of Show: Sacramento Fine Arts “Visions” Photography Show 2014; First Place Photography: Elk Grove Fine Arts 2nd. Annual Fine Arts Competition 2014; Award of Excellence: Sacramento Fine Arts “Magnum Opus” 2014; Single Image Award Black & White Magazine 2013; Best in Category: Placer Arts Open Juried Show, 2013; Juror’s Award: California State Fair B&W Photography, 2011; Best of Show: Sacramento County Fair, 2010; Best of Class: Sacramento County Fair, B&W Photography, 2011; Best of Division: Sacramento County Fair, B&W Photography, 2011, and Sacramento County Fair, Color Photography 2010; First Place: Sacramento Fine Arts Center “Animal House” Show, 2011 and 2010.

I hope you enjoy my images.  Please contact me with any questions regarding my work.
