My Important Way
Experiences are the building blocks of life. If making a popular and lucrative photograph requires that one eschew more elevated and personally meaningful experiences, even if yielding no product, then I say: to hell with that photograph. more
QT Luong – Portrait of a Photographer
QT Luong was the first person to photograph all 62 National Parks, an impressive feat on its own right; however, he did so with a large format film camera. more
A Year of Photographs
Not necessarily my best pictures of the year, they are nevertheless ones that I am fond of, or intrigued by…and which haven’t yet appeared in On Landscape! The captions aim to provide a little background to their origins, and why I chose them. more
Mindfulness With a Twist
When I practice mindfulness, I don’t aspire to rid myself completely of strong emotions. My goal, instead, is to filter my emotions and keep only those that are most elevating and beautiful, even if painful and difficult. more
Ruminations of an Optical Neurotic
The creative approach is always to work within the limitations available to us at the time and come up with the best solution, certainly not to regret the lack of a particular focal length, or an exotically-priced superior alternative. more
Professional Freedom

Southern Manscapes
Man's influence on the landscape here is obvious and almost unavoidable photographically. I decided to embrace this and to make the transformation of the land and man's influence on it the subject of the photographs. more
Ideas Behind Reality in Photography
It’s important to highlight that deception involves intent. Tools and techniques don’t have intents, people do. Deception is not about whether someone applied some tool or technique, it’s about whether someone used a tool or technique specifically intending to deceive others. more
Acquisitions and Inquisitions
This paradox springs from the fact that photographers’ peers are seen as both their preferred audience and their competition for the acquisition of images. Photographers want to brag about where they’ve been to people who they think will appreciate it. more
Ideas Behind Reality in Photography
For me, the overriding approach is that I want to make sure I express authentic experience. The feelings I want to express in my work are true to my own experience, and my experience is to a large degree influenced by the reality I work in—the beauty and complexity of natural places. more
Drawn to Rock
This small exhibition answers the request for an artistic response to the unique landscape of Brimham Rocks. The goal was to combine traditional photographic working methods with something more deliberately experimental. more
