• He was born in 1951• “expressing the grace, light and beauty he saw

present in the world of nature.”• Today he works almost only with color• “He learned the offset printing process and ran

four-color printing presses and laser scanners to create detailed color separations”

About him continued• He travels all

over the US to photograph

• featured in many public and private fine art collections

Styles• His style involves mostly color and landscape.• He says that the untouched world is indescribable

beauty. • “The miracle of life unfolds before our eyes, and is

seen in the tapestry of creation”• “Photography is an expression of the world we

live in, and of what we see and experience”• The purpose of my photography is to provide a

brief, if somewhat veiled, glimpse into that clear and brilliant world of light and power. To the extent that these photographs help show that way, is the extent to which these images succeed.

Amber Forest Light, New Jersey

• This Photo has natural lighting• To me the main subject is the reflection of the trees and leaves• The composition makes me look and wonder what it was like to be there in person to feel• the air and see the movement. • The photographer is trying to show the true beauty of the world to those you don’t realize it or haven’t seen it.
