& Photographer
Welcome to
Powder Hill Photography
As you view my photography, let the landscape share its vision with you.
“I don’t want to just entertain people,
I want to touch them”
~ John Denver
The images I create are meant to awaken something inside you—an emotion, a memory, a quiet connection that lingers long into the day.
Take in the comfort of the lake breeze.
Listen to the wind's song as it harmonizes with the fluttering aspen leaves overhead.
Feel the sun resting on your shoulder as you marvel at the silent expressions of nature, shaped by the artistry of the land.
Peacefully, become one with the scene. Be present in the moment.
"I want you to feel
as if you are there, within the scene"
~ Drake Fleege
"Oh, I love the life within me,
I feel a part of everything I see
Oh, I love the life around me,
A part of everything is here in me"
–John Denver (Spring)
Expressions of Nature
(Fine Art Landscape & Nature Photography)
Abstract in Nature
(Abstract Landscape Photography)
Discover the quiet beauty hidden in the abstract landscapes - the kinds of scenes that too often go unnoticed.
These images invite curiosity, sparking questions and conversations that gently hold the viewer’s attention.
Black & White Landscapes
(Black & White Landscape Photography)
In black and white, the landscape reveals details often masked by color.
The lines of the trees, the ruggedness of the mountains, and the softness of the clouds – all lend their voices to the choral harmony of nature.
These scenes invite the viewer to look, and more importantly, to listen - to feel the quiet wisdom shared by the world around us.
Wisconsin's Fields & Forests
(Landscape Photography of Fields & Forests)
How do you feel as you gaze up into an autumn aspen canopy, golden leaves shimmering against the baby-blue sky?
Do you feel the trees offering their quiet strength to you?
Bring that feeling home — from the fields and forests.
Wisconsin's Lakes & Rivers
(Landscape Photography of Lakes & Rivers)
Have you ever spent a day along a quiet northwoods lake - calm water, warm sunshine, and memories that stay with you?
Relive those moments daily, as if you are there on the quiet shore beneath the magnificent red pines, the scent of their needles drifting with the gentle breeze.
Wisconsin's Lake Michigan
(Lake Michigan Landscape Photography)
Lake Michigan has many moods - peaceful, calm under a blue sky one day, powerful and crashing under the force of the winds the next.
Each moment creates its own beauty, with its own emotional connection.
Scenics Beyond Wisconsin
(Landscape Photography Beyond Wisconsin)
While Wisconsin is home to most of my photography, some journeys lead beyond its borders.
From Gulf Coast beaches to Colorado's Rocky Mountain National Park - revisit the places you've traveled.
Relive the moments that bring back the warmth of family trips.
Panoramic Views
(Panoramic Landscape Photography)
Panoramic prints offer a unique view of the landscapes before us. With their elongated format, we experience a narrow slice of the world with heightened awareness.
This focused perspective encourages deeper exploration. Whether physical, philosophical, or psychological, our thoughts and impressions often become more apparent within the panoramic view.
Panoramic prints are especially suited for those unique spaces within your home where a contemplative image can be fully appreciated.
Triptych Scenes
(Triptych Landscape Photography)
Designed for larger wall spaces, each triptych brings the scene to life -- as if looking out a window.
Three equal panels - spaced inches or feet apart - give you full control over both the space and the scene.
You'll often hear, "That's really interesting," as friends and family become captivated by the expansive view.

Frequently Asked Questions
With Video Responses
The Purpose of my Photography
To paraphrase a John Denver quote, my purpose is to make you feel as if you are present within the scene.
To create an emotional connection that allows you to step beyond simply viewing a photograph and experience nature through the print.

My Conversation with Denali
In 2005, while in Alaska, and as strange as it may sound, I had a wonderful conversation with Denali.
That conversation and the inner reflection that followed set in motion the path I follow today as a fine art landscape nature photographer.

"Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
And all that we can be and not what we are"
–John Denver (Eagle & The Hawk)
Thought for the Day
"If you do what you can do,
and I do what I can do,
together, we can make a difference.”
~ John Denver
