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.

Bachelor Bulls on Winter Range

Every year a group of bull elk move down out of the foothills near my hometown into an area that is viewable even from Interstate 90.  They spend several weeks in the area, making for a number of great photo opportunities.  I spent some time Friday afternoon and Sunday morning photographing them.  Here a few images from those encounters.

The Majesty of Creation

I spent some time over Christmas break reflecting on life, my teaching career, my passion for photography, where I live, and the gift God gave me for seeing and capturing His creation.  I am so thankful for His many blessings and realize how fortunate I am to have time to travel through many of the more visually stunning locations in His creation.  To stand and absorb the granduer of a sweeping vista punctuated by massive rocky peaks, a cloak of evergreen forest, and cascading frothy torrents of white gives pause as it bears testimony to His intricate design.  To believe that such took place by chance requires more faith than I can muster. 

The following images, some repeats from last year, provide just a glimpse of God's greatness.  They are some of my recent favorites.
