My first adventures in photography started in 1970 when I bought a used Pentax Spotmatic, right after high school. Whether canoeing the Green River in Utah or riding my bicycle across the western US and Canada, my camera always went along. I started using digital cameras in 2010, and today my work is about half digital and half film. I am presently located in SW Missouri, where I was "born and raised" - but I have also lived in Wenatchee, Washington; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Hyde Park, New York. Many of my photos were taken while traveling by bicycle, car, canoe, or on foot in the western United States, Canada, and Europe.
