For over forty years, I have hiked and traveled in the Sierra Nevada mountains, Death Valley, Big Sur, Baja California, and other locales to capture images of nature. I’ve worked primarily with 35mm cameras using Velvia and Kodachrome film. Recently I’ve begun using digital media, which I believe allows me much better control of the color and quality of the final prints. As a computer professional I am now able to merge my love of the outdoors and photography with my expertise in computers. I employ Mac computers, Aperture and Photoshop to ensure that the final print looks the same as it did through my viewfinder.

My family (Wendie and our three sons - Eric, CJ, and Kris) have been amazingly tolerant of my obsession with trying to capture the perfect picture under all kinds of conditions. (Thanks!)
