I love subtlety in imagery. The soft and delicate tones and color in this image, for me anyway, is what makes it work. This is an image that really needs to be fairly large, as the soft texture in the water begins to really become evident in the enlargement. The ripples on the surface cause [...]

I have a new portfolio that will soon be released at MoffettGallery.com entitled “Shorelines.” I began working on this portfolio just over one year ago while on the Oregon Coast and continued building on it in Hawaii last January. This Spring, I started incorporating some of the techniques I was using into some new images [...]

Combining the concept of simplicity and the design element of line in landscape photography is sometimes difficult for new photographers to grasp hold of. Often, I find students using line in predominantly “busy” images, which is just the opposite of simple. I love combining these two because when done successfully you end up with a [...]

The road to Gotts Point is a favorite location of mine for an early morning stroll with my camera and tripod. It is always quiet, allowing me to think deeply about whatever is on my mind. It is a great place to meditate and ponder, and as I do I feel invigorated and ready to [...]

Do you ever need to de-emphasize a busy background? I know on occasion I do. In portraiture this is an everyday situation, but a technique that is not used as frequently in landscape photography. However, it is very valuable to understand at times. This particular scene, if shot on auto or with a point and [...]

Why do I photograph? Because I need to! I got my first camera when I was about 8 or 9 years old, and have been documenting life and the world we live in since then. My reasons to shoot and my photographic philosophies have changed over the years, but I still have a need to [...]
What is it about sunsets that we all enjoy? Each one is so different, not one the same or even similar. I have my own ideas why we all enjoy them so much. Maybe your ideas are different. I would love to hear others views. All day long we view the world in cold, blue [...]
Moving water can create an interesting surface for reflections. I found this peaceful image while strolling the banks of Lake Lowell one summer morning. Soft light, blue sky and a few ripples in the water. What else can be said? I hope you enjoy.

As a young child we notice everything. Our minds soak up every detail that we see. As we age we tend to ignore most everything, actually seeing less than we ignore. Then we pick up a camera and want to make photographs with impact and feeling. We must train ourselves to see those simple things [...]
