For me, landscape photography is a necessity. To be out in the natural world, among the trees and the rocks, the way nature has made and arranged them is, to me, one of life’s most satisfying things.
Our natural world is receding each day as civilization is constantly encroaching upon it. Forests, deserts and open spaces are disappearing. The ability to articulate these experiences in photographs and express them as art is a true blessing which I strive to hone and improve each day.
Many of my images are produced in limited editions of only 25 or 50 prints. Many photographers have editions of 500 or more copies. It is not my desire to continually produce more copies of the same work.
Rather, I believe in smaller editions and the very finest printing along with the simple matting and framing that allows the beauty of the image to stand out.
Once an edition is sold out, the original transparency or negative is retired. No further fine art prints will be made from it. In some cases, an image may be used for publication in books or magazines and artist’s proofs may be made and are generally kept within my family. When you order a print, the next available number for that image will be furnished on your print, so long as that edition is not sold out.
All of these factors help to protect your investment in the growing field of photographic art.
Knowing that my editions are extremely limited makes the prospect of exploring new places even more exhilarating. I intend to continue to seek the scenes and the beauty that are provided by nature. I try to create images of our natural world; images that convey a sense of the untouched and unspoiled, those untouched places that retain the special aura of peace and creation.
It is my hope that you will find them evocative and enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed bringing them to you.
In 2006, I will be traveling exrensively throughout the Rocky Mountains, mainly in Colorado, and Patagonia, within both Argentina and Chile, as well as the Everglades in South Florida.
