I am now based in Ashland, Oregon, USA.  Ashland is near such interesting locations as Mt. Shasta, Redwoods and Crater Lake National Parks.  For the last 29 years, I was based in the Truckee / Lake Tahoe area, in the Sierra Nevada Mountain range of Northern California.

As an avid photographer, I am blessed with some of the most beautiful scenery in the world in my backyard. The mountains and plateaus of western United States offer splendid vistas with every turn. In the traditionally short spring, the land comes to life with beautiful wildflowers and renewed growth. Summer provides an ever changing pallet of subjects. The colors of fall are quickly replaced by the winter snows.

I utilize both digital and film based cameras.  All image processing and printing takes place in the digital darkroom.  This allows me to fully fine-tune each digital file or high quality film scan for optimum print quality.  The resulting digital files can be several hundred megabytes in size.  The digital darkroom allows for contrast enhancement, color, brightness and saturation tuning which result in outstanding fine art prints. For more information on the actual printing process, available sizes and other options, please click on "Ordering" above.
