Remember the days as a kid spent laying on your back watching the clouds blow by? Those were the days! Not a worry in the world. Just kick back and enjoy the summer. Sometimes I wish I could go back to those days. And then I think again. I like where I am and where [...]

I love the ocean, and one of my favorite places to visit the ocean is along the Oregon coast. The opportunities for incredible photographs are endless. It makes no difference what the weather is like, imaging opportunities are abundant. The variety of coastline scenery is unreal. You can walk from the sandy beach to tidepools [...]

When arriving at Multnomah Falls in early June on our way to the coast, we found it utterly chaotic. As if the swarms of people from all over the world weren’t bad enough, a wedding party had just arrived and were preparing for the arrival of the bride. We fought our way through the crowds [...]

I love shooting photographs of the local areas. I feel that I get to know them, yet never tire of them. It seems that I see something different every time I return to a familiar place, or maybe I just see the same things differently. The light is always changing, so the same things can [...]

I remember while in school years ago, Ruth Bernhard chewing a bunch of us students out for traveling a distance to make our photographs. She referred back to her famous teapot image and told how she picked the teapot up off of the street, all beat up and smashed. She took it to the studio [...]

Just about when everyone else packs up and leaves because it is too dark, I begin my quest for a great photograph. I love shooting after the sun has set. Some of my best images were 20-30 minutes after the sun has gone down. The light is wonderful. The only problem is that there is [...]

Simplicity. It is what I strive for in my photographs. It is how I see. It is also a concept that is very hard to teach young photographers. This is possibly due to the fact that the world today is very complex. We are surrounded by busyness. If we get caught up in it all [...]
