About This Website
This website is about seeing, capturing, and sharing, but mostly sharing. It contains a lot of images, far more than some people will want to see. Unlike respectable photographers who present their best images for sale, my primary interest is to provide the widest possible exposure to everything that is wonderful about life - a world full of amazing people, fascinating creatures, beautiful landscapes, and boundless adventures and opportunities.
My journey into photography began near the end of a 30-year career as a federal drug prosecutor where I was involved in the investigation and prosecution of large-scale drug organizations that trafficked in human misery. It took a mid-life crisis to bring me into the world of serious photography when I realized that decades of exposure to the darkest aspects of the human condition had impacted my ability to recognize many of life’s simple pleasures.
Although photography is now a major part of my life, it is not the only thing that occupies my time. As a retired federal prosecutor, I have opportunities to speak at many local, state, regional and national conferences on a variety of subjects relating to the law, law enforcement, drug education, building strong communities, protecting and nurturing children, and photography. My favorite type of work is dealing directly with youth, and increasingly, my youth workshops include learning about photography and the great outdoors. On a good day, a workshop on photography is followed by an outdoor excursion with a busload of kids.
When people enjoy my images, I wish that I could share everything else that I experienced at the moment the shutter was released. For each photograph, I have etched in my memory the sight, sound, aroma and feel of a place or experience – a unique moment in time. Hopefully, I have captured enough of the moment to allow you to go there with me and experience some of the wonder and beauty of this earth.
