Photographic Art of Wildlife and Nature from all over the world including Penguins from Antarctica, Sharks from Australia & Mexico, Grisly Bears from Alaska, Polar Bears from Canada, Leopards from Africa and Tigers from India. I have spent 30 years, traveled to seven continents and taken over 200,000 images in order to present the pictures shown here. |

Artist's Statement - What This Web Site Is All About
 |
I am a full time professional photographer. I make my living selling photographic prints, as art, in juried art shows in the United States. My company is a two person business. Myself and Mary, my wife of fifty years. Every image on this site has been photographed by me personally. I shoot only Film, I use no digital cameras. The images shown on this site are the approximately 1000 pictures that Mary and I now offer, or have offered for sale, at the many art shows we do every year. The pictures shown here have all 'made their bones' as images we have successfully sold on the art show circuit. The pictures are basically of wildlife and nature scenes. The wildlife is from all over the world and is truly wild. I have no pictures from zoos or aquariums. |
| At an art show, we typically hang less than 25 framed pictures and display approximately 100 matted/unframed pictures. The images we display at the art shows are in a constant state of change as I travel and develop new work. We regularly stop displaying very good selling pictures, in order to hang my latest new work. This web site is our effort to make available the many, very good images that we're no longer able to display at the art shows. |

The larger size prints are limited edition prints, with editions
limited to 250 prints. The prints are dry mounted, and matted, and are
sold only as art. The images have never been published. I have
a state of the art darkroom in my home in Buckhead, Georgia. Every one on
my photographs is printed by me, by hand, one at a time, from a master negative. Two or three times a year, we jet off to some of the world's most remote locations, to add to my photographic collection. That's the fun part. The work part is the other 10 or 15 times a year we drive off, in our truck, to someplace where we setup our display, and hopefully sell my work at an Art Show. If there is a delay in responding to a message you've sent to us, it's very probably because we're off somewhere on a road trip. |

This site represents an electronic catalog of my work and is aimed primarily at people who have seen the high quality of the work, at an art show. We don't have a printed catalog because we introduce new pictures so often that we can't keep a printed catalog up to date. This web site also allows me to provide information on the individual pictures and to tell interesting stories about the trips we've taken to get the images. This web site is a plain Jane project that I did myself. I've learned that simple pages load faster so I've left out frames and any other fancy feature that slow things down. My object is to show you my photographic art of wildlife and nature rather than my skill at web programming. |
