Photography has been an avocation my entire life. It became a vocation 25 plus years ago after selling my general insurance agency and retiring from the insurance industry. Both photographic and computer skills have been self taught.
Specializing in nature, wildlife, landscape, marine, and historical subjects, most of my images are of the natural world. People and material objects appear only when they serve to provide additional meaning. Images are not intended to be documentary but are 'Fine Art' made for the viewer to find personal meaning, to bring back memories, and to create dreams.
I have done work for the U.S. Department of Interior/National Park Service and for several State Parks, as well as real estate developers, design
studios, artists, retail stores, interior designers, and non-profit organizations.My images have been published in numerous advertisements and
feature articles in both newspapers and magazines. I have published three coffee table books, 'Natural Florida', 'Western North Carolina and The
Smoky Mountains', and 'Marine Scenes and Seascapes, Lighthouses and Wetlands'. I have had 'one man exhibitions' in galleries, theaters, and restaurants in Florida, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
My numbered and signed 'Limited Edition Prints' are in private and commercial art collections throughout the United States, Canada, England,
and Europe. My images have won many awards in Juried Shows and Exhibitions from 'Honorable Mention' to 'Best of Show'. They have also
been published in 'Photographer's Forum' magazine 'Best of Photography Annual' for the past eleven years
