Your Bio

Thank you for visiting my web site.
Over the years I have traveled to many wonderful places.
My favorites are the American National Parks. Many of my photographs show the small and close-up things which lots of photographers never even see. I like bright colors and high contast.
Often I will paint a scene after I get home, because it appeals to me as a painting even more then as a photo.
I invite you to leave a comment on all the pictures you enjoy. I would be happy to hear from you.
Enjoy!
