Artist Statement
My total subject interest is in nature in all its forms. Birds, animals, insects, flowers, and landscapes, all draw my attention and are fair game for my camera. Most of my photos are taken in the morning. I am out at sunrise, and quite often back home by the time some people are getting up. We have taken trips, but the majority of my photos have been taken within 20 miles of Battle Creek. I shoot with 35mm Nikon equipment. May you find pleasure in the things God has allowed me to see and photograph and then marvel at His creation, as I do.

Artist Bio
Born and raised in Battle Creek, I discovered at an early age the joys of nature and capturing it on film. I was in my 20's when photography became a serious pursuit. At that time, I started doing black and white darkroom work and exhibiting nationally through the Photographic Society of America. I continued with black and white for a number of years and gradually turned to color slides, and continue shooting color to this day. Over the years my photos have appeared in Audubon desk /wall calendars and Sierra Club desk calendars, as well as, other national publications.
