I take my photos so that people can hear nature speaking of solitude, peace, and the inner beauty, once you strip away the makeup and color.

Black and white photography that shows the solitude and loneliness of the lost places. I like to make the heart see, not just the eyes. Sometimes I like to experiment with how to display art, it shouldn't just be a picture, it should be a commandment, a wish, and a dream.
Where do you find inspiration?The Pacific, the Cascade Mountains, lakes, hidden places, rivers. I find inspiration from things that are forgotten but still useful, things that call out to my soul begging to be heard and seen again. I relate it to those that feel forgotten, so that they can be seen again.
What would you do with $25,000?Buy a camera, pay some bills, take my wife to a few places that she has never been, maybe let her see the sunrise in the Rockies, maybe Yosemite or Yellowstone. I am a simple man. The $25,000 would be appreciated, but I do my art out of love, and as penitence for my earlier self.
