About

Welcome. I have been a commercial photographer since 1980. I specialize in location photography for advertising and corporations. I have shot everything from architectural projects, hotels & travel assignments to steel mills and agricultural products. I have been doing landscape photography for myself since I started shooting in the early 70’s but it was not until 2001 I began my first book project, The Lewis & Clark Trail AMERICAN LANDSCAPES.

In 2004 I was one of the founding members of Quiet Light Publishing with our first release in 2005 of my book The Lewis & Clark Trail AMERICAN LANDSCAPES. Since then we have won over a dozen awards for photography, printing and publishing.

My second book, Great Smoky Mountains National Park: Thirty Years of American Landscapes was released in July 2009 to many accolades. It has quickly become the number one selling coffee table book in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park stores.

Both books are available through your local book stores with autographed copies available through Quiet Light Publishing!

This blog will share my musings on publishing and photography as well as thoughts on shooting on locations along the Lewis & Clark Trail, National Parks and around the world. I hope you enjoy and I look forward to our conversations!
