since I can remember I have had an affinity with nature. I think it speaks
to us, teaches us how to better understand ourselves, and gives us
hope and new ideas. I remember climbing a tree -- I stared across the field
at the hills watching the sunset changes its colors. I remember walking
alongside the railroad (age 18) with my hand-me-down Canon AE-1 capturing all the
beauty I appreciated. Being in nature has always lifted me up when I was
down. I am 26 now, and live in Missouri with my father. I've been in
college for five years studying photography, and have nine years
of experience photographing nature. I am always working on improving my
images. It is what I love and will continue do so as long as I live. I
hope you will also find enjoyment and feel lifted by viewing my photos in at least
the tiniest bit. My photography is only an attempt at recreating the
emotional senses and beauty that exist all around us.
