Short Bio:
I love the fine art side of photography, and have been doing it for over 30 years. I use my camera like a painter would use a brush, and my photographs reflect the interpretation I choose for that scene at that moment. For many years I processed my own film and printed my photos in my chemical darkroom, both black and white and color. I changed to digital photography about 12 years ago. I print my photographs on fine art papers on my large printer at home, or I send my work out to be printed on canvas and gallery wrapped.
My education includes three years of college classes in Fine Art Photography. I also took classes in art history, design, and printmaking.
My art has been exhibited in many galleries and various locations and published in a book for fishermen titled "Native Trout of North America" by Robert H. Smith.

All prints can also be ordered in the size preferred, and printed on canvas and gallery wrapped or mounted behind glass and framed. Prices vary according to size, frame, and printing costs. Once you contact me about the image you are interested in we can iron out the details and prices. As a general rule, canvas wrapped prints run from $50. (11x14) to $500. (30x48). Framed prints are similar in cost, or slightly less. You may order only the print and frame it yourself. Print only costs run about $5. ( 5x7) up to $70. (13x30).
Note: "Wrapped Canvas" is where the photograph is printed on canvas and the canvas is wrapped around a wood frame so that the picture continues right around the side. "Framed" is where the printed photograph is mounted behind glass and has a metal or wood frame around it.

If you would like to order cards just use the contact form and include the file numbers of the images wanted and the number of cards you want to order. The cards are priced at $2. each. There would be a small postage fee for mailing.
