Stopping time….

. . . this is perhaps the most unique feature about photography. The moment that is captured in a photo is preserved forever through this wonderful art form.

Photography is a passionate hobby that started 30 years ago while I was based in Europe during my hitch with the US Army. I also love to travel and that provides me with many opportunities to capture the beauty and splendor of nature and share it here with you.

People ask me why I don't do it professionally. To be honest, I'm afraid I would lose the joy I get from the wonder of discovering and capturing nature's beauty.

I hope you enjoy viewing these scenes as much as I enjoyed capturing them for you.
