This image was taken in the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in
the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. This is a
shot of the upturned rootball of a dead bristlecone pine tree
that is many hundreds of years old.
My love of the outdoors began at a very early age, and led to the hobby of photographing nature, which I have done for over 20 years. In college I earned B.S. and M.S. degrees in physical geography and ecology, and had the opportunity to study the physical landscapes I was photographing. Over 20 years ago, I turned this passion into a fine art career.
Although I sell images to all sorts of markets, the bulk of my enthusiasm is spent producing prints for the fine art market. My prints have been shown and sold in several galleries. Today I continue to have my work accepted for several national juried exhibitions and have won numerous awards including the prestigious Westmorland Art Nationals ?Photograph of the Year?. I sell hundreds of photographs and prints each year, and have published four books and 16 sole photographer nature calendars. My photographs have made the pages of National Geographic, Sierra Club, and Audubon. I currently am working on a new book of fine art photographs entitled " Lightdances Across The Landscape," and am devoting my full time efforts to producing fine art images.
