Photography allows me to stop and take the time to really examine the splendor in the world around me. I am intrigued and nourished by Nature in all its forms – minuscule to magnificent. From the intimate detail of a flower, to the intricacy and symmetry of a bird’s feathers, to the many layers in a magnificent panoramic vista, I truly believe I am better for taking the time to really “see”. My photography is my attempt to capture the magic of our world and is a celebration of the Blue Ridge Mountains where I live and the places I’ve visited. All of my photos are captured “out in nature”, so expect to find small surprises or something unexpected in the landscape or flowers – I always do. As I like to note “there’s always a bug”! I am pleased to be able to share my unique vision of our sometimes mysterious, always awesome, and incredibly magnificent world through my photographs.
