Based in Austin, Texas, I specialize in fine art images of the natural landscape. Although I spend most of my time working as a manufacturing engineer for a local tech company, I take every opportunity to spend time in nature. When my mother gave me an old 35mm Minolta SLR in 1996, I instinctively pointed it at trees, mountains, and lakes. Whether I'm backpacking through the mountains or camping in the desert, spending time in nature gives me the same feeling I had as a child exploring the pine forests of East Texas, and photography gives me a way to take it with me when I go.
Nature is not my only photographic interest and when I think about how I should describe the others the Monty Python catchphrase, “And now for something completely different,” keeps popping into my head. I've recently finished a documentary photography project that tells the story of how a local Austin musician struggled to get an album made. The grainy black and white aesthetic gives this project a very different feel from my landscape work, but it is the same in one important way. Like nature, music has always been a huge part of my life.
