My career began when my Mother in-law and Father in-law heard I wanted a camera. Ramona and Jerry gave me a Canon AE-1 and the Lynchburg Camera Shop guided me along. It took a 15 foot fall from a tree stand but I still use it on occasion.

   Hunting and fishing now included a camera; which gave me something to do on some trips, where I was fascinated at scenes I had passed hundreds of times. But now I had the bonus of waiting on my film; like Christmas with each roll, and the thrill of capturing the scene with my interpretation. There is an order in nature that is dynamically beautiful. This order is repeated over and over; interlinking from greatest to least. The hand of God is on all creation, and my goal is to present each level for the work of art that it truly is.

  As my collection grew I decided to try a show. With that initial success a photographer emerged. From the beginning I strode for quality prints on archival papers,with all of the frames personally selected for my limited edition framed prints, professionally framed under UV glass, as they are to this day. 

   I want to thank God for blessing my photography and give Him the glory in all I do, so others may be led to salvation in His Son, Jesus Christ. If you want to walk with Him, let me know and I'll point you to His path.

   Enjoy these prints as reminders of His love, and get your boots dirty taking some pictures of your own.
