Photography

Nature photography has a special place in my heart since it may take a lifetime to fully understand the balances,
forces, changes, inner workings and power of Nature. It’s an honor and challenge to interpret and represent the
natural world through a lens, to share it with others, and to understand its powerful ability to transform and
change.
I use a variety of techniques to create digital and film images … at times using High Dynamic Range techniques
if the scene has high contrast, or blending exposure- bracketed photos to layer the best of each one … but every
once in a while, magic will happen and one shot captures the essence of a scene. In those moments, light is
usually the single most influential element, and it becomes a wonderful experience that is hopefully conveyed to
the viewer.
My photography has been described as portraying Iowa’s landscapes in an honest, dramatic and beautiful way,
and I look forward to sharing it with you!
