  • Two influencers of my landscape nature photography are John Denver and  John Muir .

    Perhaps that may be why, when looking through the viewfinder, I  hear the music  and listen to the performance nature offers.

    Each aspect of the scene becomes one instrument playing its part in the total composition.

    Rather than simply documenting what lies before me, I create art that allows you, the viewer, to emotionally enter the scene.

    You then experience the nuances of the image, appreciate its “musical composition” and benefit from its inspiration.
