Landscapes
With limited equipment, I began my photographic journey capturing landscapes. After visiting Yellowstone, Glacier, the Tetons and the Badlands, I was hooked and wanted to visit and capture the beauty of all 60 US National parks.
I eventually began traveling to National parks outside of the US. Today I have captured images on four continents and still counting.

The northern lights occur all four seasons of the year, although they are harder to see under the midday sun. The best time to see the northern lights in Alaska is between August and April, when less daylight leads to darker night skies.

North Carolina and Tennessee
Smoky Mountains NP
The dark trees in the foreground act like a vignette leading the eye up into the layers of mountains in the middle ground. Naturally right though the clouds to the warm bright sky. The dark storm clouds create tension while pushing the viewers eye back into the center of composition.

Iceland
