I’m a vagabond who likes travel photography and writing about the places I see. My work concentrates on the natural world, from large-scale panorams to the smallest details, in color or black and white.

Past Projects
- Close to Home 2020 looks at 30 days in Gainesville, Florida, where I was during the April ‘shelter in place’ edict. Think of it as 30 snapshots of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Looking for a Camera?
My advice when looking for a camera? Try before you buy.
Find a good camera store or go to a place like Best Buy and try them out. See what sizes fit your hands (too big or too heavy, and you won’t use it as much) and what menu system fits your brain. For example, Canon’s menu system confuses me, but for some reason, Sony’s menu system makes sense to me; you might find the reverse is try.
We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us.
