It feels like I've been fascinated with cameras for as long as I can remember. The magic of the camera, to me, is the ability to show people the world from your perspective. A photograph can turn even the most mundane thing into a whole story and make us feel things that we might not have expected to feel. The beauty of photography is inherent in the beauty of humanity. The photograph is meaningless without the person looking at it and feeling something.
So that became my pursuit. To make photographs that told stories and made me feel things. After a few years of experimentation, this goal led me to the mountains. The beauty and stories there are practically unlimited. I fell in love with the wilderness and went on to get a degree in biology with an emphasis in natural science. I learned everything I could about the natural world and discovered a new well of wonder with each discovery. I fell in love with the trees and flowers and birds and lizards and just about every other ecosystem, rock, and lifeform (except mosquitoes.)
This website and the photographs and projects to be found in it are the result of that great wellspring of wonder that I've discovered. My goal is to share the wonder with as many people as I can in my short time on this beautiful, wonderful rock we call Earth.
So explore a little, kick your feet up, if you have any questions at all please send me a message. If you want to dive further into the adventures and philosophies that make the photographs, you can find my substack below. I post on there almost weekly about my travels and experiences as a vagabond photographer, biologist, and musician.
I spend a lot of time thinking about scale. There are certain shapes and structures that repeat across scales: from the microscope at the desk to the view from the top of a mountain. The bee's honeycomb is the same shape as the columnar basalt is the same shape as the dragonfly eye. This world is full of patterns, and surprises!
The site is organized as an archive first. I put every image in a series based on the subject matter or photography technique, then I put them all in collections, intermingling the series by organizing by mood, shapes, patterns, or events, finally, I've added a Collector's Portal which is home to one-of-a-kind fine art photos that go in the archives after they have been printed, never to be printed again.
Each print is signed by me and comes with a certificate of authenticity, and a little story about the day I took it. My goal is to make each print accessible and the purchase process fun. The photos on this site come with recommended print sizes but if you call or message me we can print to any size you like! Mostly I'd just love to hear from you.
One print, sold once, then withdrawn and put in the archives.
Small editions of selected works, with remaining availability tracked in the catalog.
Works that will be available for all time for everyone for the good of humanity.
