Born in New England, I have always had a love for art. Early on I painted and sketched, but in my 20's found Photography. Problem was the difference between pocketbook and passion. My first SLR came in '80, then Large Format and now Digital. I have had the great pleasure of traveling to and living in some of the most beautiful places in the world, but have chosen the North West as home. As a writer of Outdoor Destination articles, my Photography has become a good balance to that endeavor. Live!
