The Blue Ridge Mountains have been part of my soul since my childhood, when family vacations explored areas around the Blue Ridge Parkway. Now I'm fortunate to have a cabin in a little valley at the foot of the Craggy Mountains, within sight of the Parkway, adjoining thousands of acres of pristine wilderness. I spend as much time as I can exploring the mountains I discovered as a child. I love finding magical places and soaking in their peace and beauty. I capture images of these special spots so I can remember them later, and share them with my friends... including you. I hope you find these places as special as I do.

My approach to my work is to capture what “wows” me, and to edit the images only as much as necessary to share the light, color, and composition that took my breath away in the first place. Cameras are often a poor substitute for the human eye, and need a little help... but not too much. I'm not obsessed with the technical craft of photography. My primary interest is how photographic images can temporally extend a gasp, like a musical chord held indefinitely.
