Photography is the art of frozen time… the ability to store emotion and feelings within a frame. -- Meshack OtienoIf

If you've gotten to this point, you've probably figured out I'm a photographer. ;-)

I'm based in the beautiful town of Aiken, SC, and enjoy shooting in the Carolinas, from the beaches to the mountains. But my travels take me around the country, from the East Coast to the West Coast, as well as around the world, and I always travel with a camera.

Capturing the beauty I see around me and presenting it in a way that evokes emotions from the viewers is what I really enjoy about photography. I shoot almost anything.  Landscapes, seascapes, woodlands and nature images are where I started, but I've branched out into people (portraits, dancers, live music), horses and equestrian sports, and architecture.

My first 'real' camera was a classic Argus C3 that my father bought in 1949. I transitioned to SLR film cameras and did some darkroom work while in high school and college. But then I went on a hiatus from 'serious' photography as my life went in other directions.

After not shooting seriously for over 30 years, I rediscovered my passion for photography several years ago. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed capturing an image and creating those stored " ....emotion[s] and feelings within a frame."

Stylistically, I've been influenced by numerous photographers and artists that I've followed as well as those that I know personally. So, while I don't claim to be 'self-taught', I will claim some natural ability to frame an image that has been nurtured by many friends and mentors.

My work has been shown in several galleries and been seen in several magazines.  I've received numerous awards from competitions, including a First Place for one of my images from NC Edge magazine photo competition.  The Aiken, SC, Chamber of Commerce featured my work on the cover of their "Welcome Aiken" 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025 and 2026 brochures.  I also serve as one of the official photographers for the Aiken Steeplechase and do photography for the Aiken Civic Ballet Company. 

 The photos you see here are available for sale, and they can be presented on various types of media. If you don't find what you want on these pages, please drop me an e-mail. I can do custom crops and quote prices for different sizes. I am also open to discussions about photo requests.
