Reptiles come in so many different shapes and sizes. It is a shame to lump them all into one category like this. But it would take too long to write a post about every individual reptile. I think reptiles epitomize what we think of when we consider life forms that are not like us. They are so different. They live on land like us but in a totally different manner than we… Read More

Despite everyone being afraid of snakes and many people wanting to kill any snake they see snakes are relatively elusive and secretive. It is not very often that you will just be walking down the street and see a snake slithering down the sidewalk. I on the other hand have always been fascinated by snakes. I can remember always being exited by and interested in snakes as a child. Eventually I even… Read More

I love animals. Dogs and cats and the like. All the animals we let into our lives. The ones we share the most intimate moments with. The intersection between humans and animals has a profound impact on our world. It can be death and horror as is demonstrated in our factory farming of animals for food. Or it can be unconditional love and support as demonstrated with the bonds we form with… Read More

If you know me, you know that I am unabashedly a dog person. Dogs are my gold standard for animal companions. But, I am also an animal lover. I love all animals. I enjoy the company of just about any animals. Except spiders. I respect their place in nature, but they can just leave me alone. And I most animals are beautiful in their own way. And that goes for cats.

I love it when our communities are active and doing things. I don’t get out and create this type of imagery as much as I used to, but highlighting people in the community and the events and activities going on can have a powerful impact. I used to go to local events more often and bring my camera to photograph them. Local street painting festivals. Suicide awareness and support events. Events hosted… Read More

I love camping. My wife and I started going on regular camping trips years ago and it has been one of the most enjoyable experiences. Often when we camp we will take one of our dogs. But sometimes the dogs are not amenable to the idea. A few years ago We attempted to take Colton, our Bernese Mountain Dog, and River, our Border Collie, on a short camping trip together. We had… Read More

Every once in a while I will create more conventional portrait style photographs. This usually happens around family gatherings. Events where people are involved in one thing or another and I can be off to the side and point my camera at them without them being so aware of it. I generally create candid style images. I just like to see how someone is naturally responding to a situation. Life doesn’t happen… Read More

My art centers around nature. The motto of my business is The Foundation of All Things Natural. With those defining characteristics I find my work taking many different avenues. But what ties it all together most often is this feeling of the natural. There isn’t much I don’t find interesting or beautiful about photography. But there are certain things that I am not particularly drawn to myself in my work as a… Read More

There are uncountable different types of insects in the world. If I wrote a post about every single type of insect I have photographed we could be here a while. That is if I could even identify what type of insect it was or if it was different from something else I have photographed before. So instead I created a few broad categories to write about separately. Insects that are easily identifiable… Read More

As I was going through my list of subjects I have pointed a camera at I came to fish. I thought it would be really interesting to look through some of these images and pick out a few that I liked the best. I wasn’t really sure what I would see as I browsed the images. I don’t photogrpah fish of any sort very often. And I don’t often have occasion to… Read More
