Fierce and Sensual

Trees of the West
View this Collection

They may have been only dead trees littering the vast canyons of the West but they stopped me cold, took my breath away, chilled me to stillness and now they consume the landscape of my memory. They will not let me go. It is not possible to be more thankful for being alive.






Chattanooga: River and Bridge

Chattanooga, Tennessee

Classic black & white images of Chattanooga's famous pedestrian bridge, the Walnut Street Bridge, built in 1890, and the Market Street Bridge, in service since 1917.  These bridges span the Tennessee River and crown the downtown experience.

The Tennessee River Gorge
View this Collection

All of the images in the Tennessee River Gorge collection were photographed within an hour while chasing the last light of a day beset with constant rain and storms.  An avid sky watcher, I saw a break in the clouds late in the day and trusted that the conditions on the Tennessee River would be magnificent.  In fact, what I found was church.  Over and over again, as I chased down river to stay ahead of a barge tow, the glassy river surface reflected what I have treasured all of my life - river, sky, thankfulness for the day.  And deep gratefulness for being a photographer.





Eclectic Work

This collection includes odd shots, random opportunities,
chasing light and otherwise skewed views
of where I find myself, often trespassing,
always looking over my shoulder
to see what I've missed. 
 





Tennessee River Gorge in Black & White
View this Collection


My soul filled shore to shore
as this river, smooth as glass,
reflected passion at my feet.
There are clouds in my river!
Clouds torn to shreds, moving fast,
lifting and racing overhead as I
watch them forming in the gorge...

From Clouds in My River

Traveling throughout Pakistan from 1985 to 1989 was an opportunity and a privilege.  These images are a sample of my time there.






China 2009: Faces and Places
View this Collection

This collection of photographs displays a very brief and incomplete record of my recent travels to Southwest China. There are no shots of the Great Wall, no well worn tourist scenes. My camera seeks the personal, the people and how they live, glimpses of warmth and the human connection.  I hope these images reveal to you what I discovered in gratitude. `vw
