Wildlife has become the focus of my photography over the past 15 years, and that has intensified in the past three years as I traveled to several wildlife dense areas of North America. Places that I have taken the photographs for my website include national parks such as Everglades, Yellowstone, Grand Teton, Katmai, Kenai Fjords and Denali. Other areas with significant wildlife viewing/photography include Big Cypress Swamp (Florida), National Wildlife Reserves, especially Malhuer and Klamath (Oregon and California). I have included landscape images in recent years, and I anticipate that I will add travel photographs, and although wildlife will always be my favorite subject of my photography, wave photography has running a close second.

For those interested, the cameras I currently use are the Canon 1DX, and the Canon 5D Mark III (many of my early photos were taken with a Canon EOS 50D). My lenses include  a Cannon 16-35 mm L series zoom lens for landscape, (although recently I am using my 100-400 lens for wave photography). a Cannon 100-400 mm L series, lens for wildlife.  In the past I have used a Cannon 600 mm lens for wildlife. The zoom lens allows for better portability and easier composition.

Although I sell my photographs, I consider myself an advanced-amateur photographer. Until I retired in 2015, my regular occupation was as a Licensed Psychologist Associate in private practice in Eugene, OR. As I have more opportunities to take wildlife photos, I anticipate an increase in my focus on photography interests. I enjoy the time I spend in nature veiwing wildlife as well as the photographic experience. It is wonderful to be able to re-experience this through my photographs. In recent years, I have developed a fascination with ocean wave photography. Most of my photos are on the Oregon coast and specifically Yachats. I find that the challenges of learning the technical aspects of my camera, lenses, and photographic technique, combined with the outdoor experience and the creativity of developing the final photograph, offer a wonderful way to spend my time.
