Greetings from Newmarket, New Hampshire!The landscape is my passion, both photographing and experiencing it first hand. The finished photograph is only a small portion of the satisfaction I get being outdoors; whether it’s high on a mountain top at sunrise, alongside a raging river during spring snow melt, or experiencing the calm of a kayak paddle at slack tide. I try to bring a little of that “wow” and inspiration I get during my travels into my photography. The goal is to inspire appreciation for our natural environment, plant the seed for a viewer to visit a place they might not normally consider, or simply enable someone to experience a location they may never have a chance to go to.
I often try to pre-visualize a scene under specific weather or seasonal conditions and wait for the time to be right. For me, the journey from conceiving a photograph to the final print is much more than a technical ritual of proper lens, film, shutter speed, and aperture setting.
While I don’t have any formal training as a photographer, I read and experiment with different techniques in the field until I’m satisfied with the results. Most images were recorded using traditional 35mm and 6 x 4.5 cm. medium format film cameras. Many of my most recent images were made with a Canon 30D digital SLR, as the image quality has proven outstanding. Film originals are scanned at a high resolution and printed using archival-pigmented inks on archival paper.
In addition, I work as a Physical Therapist's Assistant at Portsmouth Regional Hospital in New Hampshire.
Comments, suggestions, and questions about any of my images are welcome, as it helps me improve my craft and maybe yours too. Contact me regarding image use fees and prints, as I will be handling inquiries individually. Please visit my Print Pricing Page for details when ordering prints.
