Photography

I’ve been photographing landscapes for more than 25 years. As a mostly self-taught photographer, I learned most of my skills while shooting film. Back then there was no delete button or editing software, which forced me to effectively learn exposure and composition. 

Specializing in travel and outdoor photography, I have an extensive inventory of images from the Southwest USA and Hawaiian Islands, as well as photos of geologic formations suitable for illustrating textbooks. 

I’m also the author of a full-color travel guidebook, Utah Canyon Country: 20 Must-See Sites and Short Hikes, which was illustrated with my photos and received a gold medal in the 2019 Independent Publisher Awards.

My photos are available as prints or for licensing. Visit my photography site to view image galleries, or contact me for information on how I can help you with travel content or illustration needs.
