I've lived in the Northern California wine country for the last 20 years but only taken up photography seriously since 2006. I started out trying to specialize in vineyard and wine related themes but found there is a whole world out there to capture. As of late, I find myself drawn to the ocean but will also venture throughout the year to other places in the western US.
I will say that photography for me is an emotional experience. I won't press the shutter unless I'm saying WOW at the scene I'm looking at. Then with a little good fortune and skill, I can convey that same WOW to you when you're viewing my images.
The majority of what makes good photography is waiting for the right light. I often think of the title “Until We Meet Again” that I gave to one of my images. Both the image and the title express the thought that magnificent scenes are often short and fleeting but will repeat themselves.
