Welcome to my site!

16x20 prints of the Avocet in the Malheur album, and the Trogon from Costa Rica will be displayed at PhotoZone Gallery's Juried Show at the Emerald Art Center during the Month of July. It's located at 500 Main Street in Springfield, Oregon. I'll be at the opening reception on July 11th from 5:00 to 7:30pm.

My prints will also be displayed at the Obsidians Lodge in Eugene, Oregon from September through December, 2025. It's open for the hiking club's events. See The Obsidians.

I’m a nature photographer based in Eugene, Oregon. Photography helps me to slow down and connect with the natural world. I’m especially drawn to birds and the moon — birds for their beauty and grace, the moon for the sense of awe it brings. Looking at it through a telephoto lens reminds me of the vastness of space and how small we are in comparison.

I love the connection that comes from being present with wildlife, looking them in the eyes, and trying to imagine what they are thinking and feeling. The challenge is to capture those moments with my camera, and share them.

I work with local photography organizations to learn from the many excellent photographers in the Pacific Northwest, and to share my work. I'm an officer of Emerald Photographic Society, and manage print competitions for Nature Photographers of the Pacific Northwest (NPPNW). Please see the Resources page for more information.

If you have questions or comments, or are interested in an 11x14 or 16x20 print, please reach out to me through the Contact Page.

Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoy the site.
