Fine Art Photography of the Landscape, Nature, and the Urban Environment
California Coast 2024
The Central California Coast, with its magnificent cliffs and pounding surf, is unquestionably one of the most beautiful landscapes in the country. The drive along California Route 1, from Monterey to Big Sur, easily qualifies as one of the top five road trips in the country.

Redwoods and Rhododendrons 2023
A recent trip to the West Coast began in Oregon, but soon moved to Redwood National Park. For some time, I had been attracted to the interplay between the towering, massive redwoods and the delicate beauty of the rhododendrons. Also, redwoods may live for hundreds of years, while the flowers of the rhododendron exists for less than a month’s time. Fate, however, for several years only provided me with rhododendron bushes well past the flowering stage. This year, however, I timed it right and a new story emerged.

Antarctica 2023
These images are from my trip to Antarctica in February of 2023. This was a trip twice postponed because of Covid concerns in 2021 and 2022, but we succeeded in getting there this year. As usual, Antarctica was incredibly beautiful, though the ice seemed less plentiful and dramatic this time around. The images are not titled because of the relative lack of location in Antarctica and the somewhat abstract nature of ice images. But I hope that you enjoy seeing them.

The incredible International Peace Park consists of Glacier National Park in the United States and Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada. Both are extraordinarily beautiful and breath-taking, well worth a visit. No matter how many days we spend there, it never seems to be enough. These are photos from August-September 2022

Antarctica 2019
In February 2019, I had the pleasure of journeying to the southernmost part of the world for a visit to Antarctica. It was totally unique, a place of ice fields and icebergs, penguins and whales. Each day brought new vistas and new photographic challenges. Being on a moving vessel, with the icebergs moving rapidly as well, required fast framing of a a scene and quick selection of camera settings. The results that I achieved speak for themselves, but Antarctica left an indelible impression that will remain with me forever.

Botanicals
My grandfather had a great passion for flowers and plants that he passed on to my mother and ultimately to me. There are few more enjoyable days than the ones I spend in either botanical gardens or the wild, photographing nature's most beautiful creations. The unique nature of flowers and plants will always be with me.
Canada
Travel to our neighbor to the North has always been an incredibly pleasurable experience. The Canadian Rockies sometimes seem to eclipse their counterparts in the United States in terms of majesty and beauty, though it is certainly a close call. Vancouver and Victoria are extraordinary, as are the Eastern Provinces, with the Atlantic Maritime Provinces possessing a special character all their own. Canada is simply one beautiful country.
Canyonlands 2017-2021
The American Southwest is a land of profound beauty and rugged geology. Repeated trips to this region have only heightened my appreciation of the uniqueness of the landscape and its endless mysteries.

Florida and the Everglades
The Florida landscape is unique compared to many other areas of the country. Unlike the West with its towering mountains and dense forests, Florida is flat, surrounded by water, with a botanical environment all its own. Florida plants and flowers are immediately recognizable compared to those from other regions of the country. While different, however, the landscape here has a beauty all its own and the more time that one spends in the landscape, the more remarkable it seems. Within this landscape, incredible wildlife also abound that are both strange and unique.

Northeastern U.S.
The Northeastern United States is an area of the country that is often underappreciated when compared to the extraordinary beauty of the West. Nevertheless, in the Fall especially, the Northeast has an amazing, captivating glow that is unique and unforgettable.

New Zealand 2018
New Zealand is one of the most beautiful countries on the planet, and my wife and I had long wanted to travel there. Finally, in the Fall of 2018, we got it all together and had a marvelous time. I hope we get back there again one day to see some of the things that we could not get to on this trip.

Street Art and Graffiti/ Abstracts
Many areas of large urban centers are covered with art work that many people find troubling. Much of the art, however, that decorates the walls of certain areas of cities is beautiful and reflects the artist's passion to create work that goes well beyond the concrete and brick. This work is often extraordinary and contained within it are smaller masterpieces that have their own unique appeal. Extracting these areas from the larger work often reveals additional insights into the work that the original artist may not have recognized.
Because of their abstract content, none of these photos are titled and are identified only by their colors or imagery. This page reveals only a small fraction of the images that have been produced to date, which now number in the thousands.
The Western U.S. and Canada 2015-2020
The Western States in this country represent the promised land, an area so rich in beauty that it often takes your breath away. I love to travel to this part of the country as it is an area of endless gorgeous images.
