Artist Statement (last revised May 13, 2010):

My favorite subject matter is outdoor landscapes, usually nature. I am mostly self-taught as a photographer. My work is oriented to "seeing" effective abstract compositions, and communicating these compositions through precise technical control.

All work had been using 35mm film using a NIKON 6006 and NIKON lenses (with a tripod most of the time). On April 6, 2010 I purchased my first digital SLR, a NIKON D700 (which uses the same lenses as my old one), and I am extremely happy with it so far (1100 shots in Utah, Arizona, and Nevada on May 4-11, 2010).

Images are printed on paper archival to at least 100 years. I prefer Epson velvet fine art paper at this point.
