My journey photographing the incomparable terrain of the American West began well before I retired from corporate life in early 2024. My son Alex convinced me to join him on a father/son adventure rafting through the Grand Canyon in 2018 shortly after he graduated from college. From then on, I was hooked.
One of my greatest joys in life is being in the wilderness of the American West, and being able to capture and share images of these magnificent landscapes and night skies. I derive great pleasure from seeing a flat, RAW image from the camera come to life in post-processing and realize that it's everything I hoped it would be when I shot it. It's especially gratifying when one of my images inspires someone's curiosity to know more about the West, or when it sparks a conversation about our respective experiences.
