My interests in subject matter are varied, but local scenes from the Smoky Mountains region where I live are probably what I try hardest at.
Many of the images you see here are available for purchase at Towne Square, 74 N. Main Street, Waynesville, NC. Click on any image to enlarge.

After being a 35mm enthusiast for over 20 years, I was highly skeptical of digital photography. However, as prices came down, and quality went up, I finally decided to buy a digital camera in August of 2003. I haven't shot a roll of film since. Digital has rekindled my passion for photography. I love being able to control the entire process from making the initial exposure to producing the final print. I can't see myself ever returning to film.
I shoot with a Canon G3 Powershot digital camera and a minimum of accessories. Like most photographers, I used to love to experiment with all the latest gadgets, but now I like to travel light and keep things simple. A tripod, a couple of filters, and some extra memory cards are all I need for most of my photography outings.
In addition to the scenic beauty of the mountains of western North Carolina, I also enjoy photographing friends and family. I usually like to do portraits outdoors, but sometimes by window light in an improvised studio in my kitchen.
