I began photography as a volunteer for the Niceville High School Band, capturing my daughter and members of the band on game days. Being a band photographer led to an interest in all things photographic. I soon took an interest in black and white landscape. Discovering landscape photography was a fortunate choice, as during Covid I found myself exploring wide open spaces of state and national parks. My continued interest led me to books by Ansel Adams and Ted Grant, where I learned compositional and lighting techniques that I would apply to my work. An appreciation of film led me to the purchase of Hasselblad and pinhole film cameras, which I would fall in love with, and use to explore interesting lighting and serene landscapes.
