Photography

Hawaii sunset with palm trees

I’ve been photographing landscapes for more than 20 years. As a 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.

My travel and landscape photos are an important part of my travel blogging. I try to help you visualize not only the location I’m writing about, but also the story I’m telling about my experiences there.

My photos have been published in both travel and science magazines, including EARTH Magazine and AAA Midwest Traveler. My award-winning book, Utah Canyon Country: 20 Must-See Sites and Short Hikes, was also illustrated with my photos.

I have an extensive inventory of images from the Southwest, Rocky Mountains, and Hawaiian Islands. All photos are available as prints or for licensing for use in travel content. Visit my photography web site to view image galleries.
