As a photographer, my mission has been to create images that inspire my viewers to dream and to create a window into a new an unusual world. I use small off camera flash and a variety of post production techniques to create my art. I also dabble in travel photography and nature so I will include some of my better examples for you to enjoy.

Although I do not regularly accept requests for photo sessions, I am always looking to collaborate with creative and playful people who want to create something memorable. I you have some ideas for a photo I would love to hear from you and see what we can create together.

Most of my art is available for purchase on this site and I thank all of you for your support. I love to hear from people who are enjoying my work and what the images say to you. I welcome your insights.

This will be a first for the area, a Home Concert. I have a special Celtic Folk Group, Lehto and Wright booked for an intimate and engaging performance in my home. A modest donation of $10 is requested but not required and all donations go directly to the artist. Children, guests and music lovers are all welcome. This should be a wonderful event and a great chance for us all to get together. Doors open at 6:30 and music begins at 7:30. There is ample parking directly across the street in the East High parking lot. I will have snacks and finger food but please bring a beverage you enjoy. Here is a link for more info on the artist’s homepage.

“… among North America’s best practitioners of Anglo-Celtic folk-rock… wonderfully intricate, powerful guitar-driven music….”
—Dirty Linen

“… Lehto and Wright produce a tight, seasoned yet compact sound, offering a fresh blast of inventive folk-rock American style.”
—Folk Roots

Reservations are encouraged as space will be limited so please RSVP and keep to your committments as others will want your space if you cannot attend. Thanks All.
