About Me

My photo
An 8th grade English teacher for the past 16 years, my interest in photography began in my early teens. An avid Fuji Velvia shooter for years, I finally purchased my first digital camera, a Canon 20D, in January of 2005. I started my photography business on the side in 2004, and it has grown into a second career. I love how my teaching profession and photography business work so seamlessly together. Today, I find myself shooting in excess of 100,000 images a year, including wedding imagery, senior and family portrait work, sports team and action shots, and my true passion, landscape and wildife. I'm actually doing what I always dreamed and I feel totally blessed.

I'm impatient!

I had intended to spend December 27th-30th in Jackson Hole photographing the peaks and valley in their winter atire.  I have attempted this same trip the previous 2 years, but inclement weather in Jackson has prohibited a worthwhile stay.  Once again, weather has played a role as I just finished changing my reservations and plans from the Jackson area to Gardiner, Montana.  I'll be spending the 28th-31st there photographing the upper portion of Yellowstone National Park. 

So what happened?  A family Christmas scheduled for the 26th has been delayed by the poor weather and closed roads across the heart of the country. Family comes first, even if it frustrates me, and since poor weather is forcast for Jackson towards the end of that window, I changed my destination.  I've taken some great shots of wildlife in Yellowstone, even in inclement weather (see the buffalo image), so that is where I'm headed bright and early on the 28th.



If the roads are decent, I should be in the park by 1:00 that afternoon.  Stay tuned for more narrative and a few sample images from the trip.
