About

I retired in 2023 from my career in the software development industry and now spend much more time pursuing my passion of photography as an artistic, creative expression.

I began taking pictures for my high school’s yearbook and was drawn early to the work of Ansel Adams and Edward Weston. I continued to study and practice the art of black and white landscape photography in film and, later, in digital format.

My wife and I now live in Marshall, Texas where my daughter and her family live. We also love traveling to northern Colorado where my son and his family live.

And while I continue to enjoy exploring and improving my art through black and white landscapes, primarily in Texas and Colorado, I have begun to explore alternative, non-traditional photographic techniques, including most recently, Intentional Camera Movement, or ICM.
