I am a native of the Black Hills and have been creating images with the lens of a camera since my mother gave me my first 35mm camera at a young age. At the request of friends, self and family, I am now following my dream to provide my art for others to enjoy. I mostly self taught in the photography field, but have learned to combine what I see in my minds eye with what the camera sees, to create some unique images. I believe that taking a good photograph can trigger heartfelt emotions, and hope that the photographs you see here will somehow connect what I see, feel, and create, with the emotions of the viewer. As an outdoors type of person, my love for the prairies of South Dakota and the Black Hills is my inspiration for making a professional career in this field. My focus is primarily on scenic and wildlife photography, but I do offer some fine abstract work that has been described by others as being very spiritual. I also do "FOR HIRE" and "STOCK" and specialize in "EVENT" photography. I have had the pleasure to take photos of Jeff Foxworthy, Kenny Loggins, and others. By the way..The wolves in my photos are friendly acquaintances that I have had the pleasure working and "running" with at Bear Country USA. The wolves have plenty of room to roam and are treated well there. They are such interesting creatures and live in a "pack" atmosphere, following many of the wild traits they are born with. You cannot pet them, but they do come rather close at feeding time and are very curious animals. I am under contract with Bear Country and will be taking more pictures of the animals there in the future.
