I am a photographer and an atmospheric scientist. When I was a boy growing up in Texas, my family visited Colorado and New Mexico, and I have been enchanted by the mountains, forests, streams, and deserts of the west and southwest ever since. I am inspired by dramatic lighting, clouds, mist, and skies and how these illuminate and highlight patterns in landscapes and nature in my home region of Crestone, Colorado, and in other places in the world.
I often print on high quality, fine art, photo rag papers with a traditional barium sulfate coating (baryta). These papers have a rich texture and bring out the colors, details, and contrast in the image. One of these papers by Hahnemuhle also has a surface infused with metal particles that gives landscapes a luminescence, and this helps me convey to you how the scene affected me when I saw it. Both the papers and inks are archival quality, and photos should retain their vibrance for many years. I also offer photos printed on aluminum by Printique of Adorama in New York City, a world-class professional printing service.
