With no formal photography education it took a while for me to realize that my camera was more than a tool for simply recording events. It has now become an extension of the way I see, allowing me to capture defining moments and hidden patterns in the world that normally fade in my memory after the initial experience. The more I learn to recognize these moments and patterns through the lens the more I am able to produce images that are not merely documentary, but have the added qualities of being compelling to the mind and pleasing to the eye. One goal that I have for my photographs is to include unexpected and yet natural elements that surprise and perhaps even confuse.
The idea for my photography business began to evolve after several years of giving slide shows of expeditions to places like Denali, the Andes, Nepal and Tibet and enjoying that I could share my experiences with others through pictures. In 2001 I started Outdoor Exposure Photography so I could share my images with a much broader audience. Outdoor Exposure Photography now provides a range of photographic services including selling fine art prints, image licensing, architectural and assignment photography. My prints are featured in a growing number of private and commercial collections, art shows and galleries. My award winning photos are also represented by stock agencies and art consultants around the country.
