Statement Exploring wild
places and searching for wildlife has taken me far and wide. Photographing wildlife at a unique moment in a stunning scenic
setting is the challenge. Creating an image that invokes an emotional response in the eyes of the viewer is an exciting adventure
and my ultimate goal. Resume My photography passion started in September 2002 when I sold my first photograph at a
photo exhibit in Rockport, MA. The excitement of producing a work of art that someone wanted to add to their art collection
convinced me that I should leverage my ability to combine an artistic eye with the current camera technology. I purchased
my first digital camera that summer and I have never gone back to film. The convergence of software/computer/digital camera
technology and an artistic sense has led me to the pursuit of ever exciting landscape, wildlife and action photography. As
a result, my works are represented in a number of galleries in Massachusetts, New hampshire and Colorado, have been published
in magazines and newspapers and have won a number of photo awards. Retiring
from my corporate career (software, engineering and business development) in 2007, I now pursue this passion full time and
with much travel in the pursuit of photographic adventures. Gallery Representations Rockport Art Association, 12 Main St., Rockport, Massachusetts Arts Alive Gallery, 500 S. Main St., Breckenridge, Colorado Blue
