Throughout my work life, projects have arisen naturally and are, as I look back at them, expressions of where I was as I human being in the different periods of my life. more
Seeds of Change
I have often wondered about the miracles of a seed - how can such a tiny speck grow into the most incredible flora, from a small daisy all the way up to a giant tree? more
Landscape Trauma
Contrary to a great deal of popular landscape photography, where the landscape is often portrayed as a pristine and wild land, contemporary landscape photography takes an alternate view and rarely portrays the landscape in this way. more
Exploring New Islands
Artificial islands are not new. They have been created for thousands of years. What is new is the size and strangeness of their modern incarnations. To conclude my journey, I rowed to some ancient examples. more
A Letter from America
I contemplated a workshop revisiting the amazing Italian Dolomites or, alternatively, a road trip through Montana and North Dakota exploring the ghost towns and abandoned farms there. After much deliberation, in the end, I chose the road trip as it promised to be different from anything I had done before. more

Highgate Revelation
It was a happy accident when the apartment I rented for a brief stay in London with another photographer friend just happened to be a stone’s throw from the famous Highgate Cemetery. more
Columbia Gorge Waterfalls
Much of the boundary between the Pacific Northwest states of Washington and Oregon is defined by the Columbia River on the final leg of its epic 1,200 mile journey from the Canadian Rockies to the Pacific Ocean. more
Solitude or Isolation?
I love the connection with nature, the time spent in the elements, and the sheer joy of creating and printing an image. The benefits to me are immeasurable and far outweigh any downside more
Defining Self Expression in Photography
Thinking about all this brought to mind the Paul Strand quote above. I confess that this quote used to cause me much consternation. Do I have something to say about the world? If so, what is it? Am I supposed to be saying something about the world in my photographs? more
Sigfrido Zimmermann
I find joy in sharing my knowledge of biology with my audience and especially when I’m able to do that through my photographs. I like to bring awareness to organisms or ecological processes that my audience might not have known about. more
