Welcome ARTA Rafters!I'm still in the midst of processing photos from our Dinosaur trips in June 2008, and I'm in town only intermittently for the rest of the summer. I have a selection of images online in my
Best of Dinosaur gallery: please have a look and enjoy!
I do intend to put many more shots online, but I doubt I'll be done until sometime this Fall. Please be patient and keep checking in!
If you are interested in acquiring a print of anything you see here, please feel free to contact me at the e-mail address below. Again, be patient: I am in and out all summer, but I will get back to you when I have computer access. Also, if you were hoping for a scene from an ARTA river trip that you don't see here, please inquire! It's very possible I may have what you're looking for.
BiographyI had the immense good fortune of being born into a family of mountaineering parents and grandparents. Raised in New Mexico, Wyoming and Montana, my entire live has been filled with travel through western landscapes. I studied Literature and History of Mathematics at St. John's College in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and worked for eight years as a rafting guide on wilderness rivers in Idaho, Utah, Colorado and Oregon. I am currently happily married and back in Santa Fe, New Mexico after a year in Colorado.
ImagesI prefer to photograph remote and seldom-visited locations and often venture far off trail. Geology is the fundamental interest for me in landscape: I love viewing and studying structures of stone, from the minute to the immense, as well as the waters, weathers, plants and animals that adorn them. I include only vague geographic information with my photos because I hope that they will inspire viewers to explore for themselves, not serve as a virtual tour.
My images grouped as
Nature Photography represent my best shots, photographs which I hope will inspire and delight on their own. The images in
Around the West are more documentary in intent, to showcase the varied amd always surprising geography of the lands I love. I hope they too will please fellow lovers of western landscape.
