Another Song, Another Mile... Ramblings on Photography-The Environment-Society-Life (Photography)

I always appreciate the moments in life that present opportunity for reflection, and find that returning to places where significant chapters of our stories have played out can provide great windows to recognize the influences of our past...

One of the biggest motivations in sharing my photography has always been in celebrating wonders found in the great outdoors, and the hope of opening eyes to the beauty that exists all around. I’ve always found deep reverence and connection in the natural world, and my photos are documentation of the special times I spend there...

I held a contest recently in which I matched a number of photos against each other and asked viewers to vote for which they liked best. Throughout the tournament, the most common reason people offered to explain the choice they’d made was “bright” or “unique” colors...

In editing the videos from my first hike to Amethyst Basin, I came across some clips I’d recorded which further discuss the motivation behind that hike and the direction I hoped my photography career would take...

Capping off my 2021 Calendar previews with another perennial favorite- the U.S. edition. I've referred to this as my "All Over" calendar in years past, as I'm usually able to work an international scene into the mix...

2021 marks the seventh edition of my Iowa Nature Calendar, which is one of my favorite and most popular projects of the year. Highlighting Iowa's natural beauty has long been a primary goal of my photography, and it is an honor to be able to show my gorgeous home state as I see it and share these places that I know and love...

Following great popularity with last years release I'm happy to once again offer a calendar featuring my hometown of Tipton and the surrounding Cedar County countryside. The cover of this 2021 edition celebrates a classic summer scene with stars and lightning bugs on a rural summer night...

Well I guess it's official... welcome to my new website and blog! Both now are a very long time in the making and I just wanted to take this chance to offer a brief introduction of what you might expect to find here...
