About

I proudly use no AI tools. I do not sky swap, and I only use Photoshop for focus stacking and resizing of images. 

In 2025, I am no longer shooting for publication. I might still submit a photo; however, my goal is to add images to my gallery and have fun. I will also be launching this new website. I will not be releasing a calendar for 2027 or 2028. However, I will continue to work on capturing images for a special edition lighthouses of the Great Lakes calendar in the future. 

About: My photography emphasis is on Blue Ridge Mountains photography. I spend the majority of my free time roaming Appalachia. I aim to share and document the beauty I have witnessed in my journeys throughout the Blue Ridge. If I could, I would spend all of my days up here. When someone looks at one of my images, they might see a beautiful scene, but for me, that image will always be second to the moment. Within every one of my photos, I can see a story. I can still feel the atmosphere, see the sights, hear the sounds, and smell the Earth. The camera is merely a vessel that connects me to that landscape. 

My images have been published in magazines and travel guides. My main goal is to capture and share the beauty of the entire 469-mile Blue Ridge Parkway and 105-mile Skyline Drive from the Smokies to Shenandoah, as well as Monongahela National Forest in WV. 

I am a proud supporter of the Blue Ridge Parkway Foundation and a member of their André Michaux Society.
