Welcome

" In God's wildness lies the hope of the world - the great fresh unblighted, unredeemed wilderness. The galling harness of civilization drops off and wounds heal ere we are aware" - John of the Mountains: The Unpublished Journals of John Muir, (1938), page 317

It is the peace and solace of the wilderness John Muir writes so eloquently about that has drawn me outdoors time after time and that has had the most significant influence on my landscape photography. My most successful photography has come from those times when I have felt the most tranquil and in harmony with my surroundings. Photography without an emotional attachment is a recipe for failure, at least for me.

Unless he extends the circle of compassion to all living creatures, man himself will not find peace.”- Albert Schweitzer

I have spent the better part of my adult life as a veterinarian. My choice of a profession came about in large part as a result of my affection for animals. For the same reason, my initial pursuit of photography involved wildlife and it continues to be a major emphasis to this day. Animals are sentient beings and are capable of a wide variety of emotions. Wildlife photography must therefore be as much about showing those inner emotions as it is in documenting the outer shell. That is my goal. While my landscape photography is an attempt to communicate my emotional response to my surroundings, my wildlife photography endeavors to reveal the emotions of an animal.
