I wanted this image to look almost like a painting. I print this on Hahnemühle Torchon Paper which is a very textured paper. This make this look more 3-d as the texture on Torchon is so prominent. I got this shot in Michigans Upper Peninsula, on a camping trip. This is part of the Black River, but I colorized the water to make it look less dark. The Iron deposits in this river make it look black as coal and my son nicknamed it “the Coca Cola river”.

Shot at the Acropolis in Greece it’s entrance way into the Acropolis (Propylaea ) and the Temple to Niki in the background. I shot this as I was leaving the Acropolis, but saw how the light was creating shadows and the textures in the columns made such amazing contrasts, that I stopped to shoot this in the middle of lines of people trying to get out.
I made this black and white to highlight the contrasts of all the stone in the building and the light hitting areas and creating all the shadows.

Shot Early in the morning in Barcelona Spain, I loved how the light was starting to come around the buildings in the area. The archway is a very famous landmark and even at 6am I had to wait a bit to get a shot without anyone in it. The Yellow tone and details in this piece really stand out on the prints, and make you really stop to look hard at the image.

I love the color in this. The different shades of orange throughout this image are so gorgeous. This was shot in Costa Rica and the 2 lonely rocks in the middle of the image just feel so isolated with everything else in going on. They immediately draw your attention then the lights lead you right into the cliffs of in the background, and transport you back to that lonely beach.

I shot this in Morocco in September of 2019 in Fez at the Bou Inania Madrassa. The arch shadows and highlights make a very interesting play off the bright green minaret. The eye is drawn to several spots of green through out the image draw after the initial view of the image’s subject, which add interest to the image.

Cloud Gate in Chicago also know as The Bean. A combination of about 60 photos over a 3 hour evening to make this shots work. Had to mask out all the people, sky and city lights. It was a beautiful sunset, and it sure made for a great shot.

I shot this in Fes Morocco in September of 2019. I had to shoot this HDR since the dark parts of the images were so dark and the lights would blow out the image. I played quite a bit with dogging and burning this to make all the little subtle images pop on this. This is a great little piece to set up in a hallway and feel a little more spacious than it is.
