About Us
After working in municipal management for 24 years, we decided to make a life
change. We lived in the panhandle of Texas in 1979 - 1981 and loved the people, the
climate, the geographical proximity to the Rockies and our families in the Dallas - Ft.
Worth area. So this is where we decided to settle.
This photo, like many on my site's cover pages, have been favorites of mine or of
my close friends. Perhaps as you browse through my galleries, you'll find
something that will speak to your soul as well.

A significant part of our decision
to move back to Texas from the
northeast was a deeply felt need
to reestablish our spiritual roots.
While we love our friends in New
Hampshire, we never found a
church home. Here in Canyon, TX
we have quickly begun to find a
place with the University Church
of Christ.
Rotary became a major part of my
life while we were living in New
Hampshire. The Canyon Rotary
Club has recently eletected me to
serve as their president in the
2010 - 2011 Rotary year. I'm sure
I'll be learning even more about
Rotary's worldwide programs to
promote world understanding and
peace.
Otherwise, we stay busy with our
two daughters and six
grandchildren. There is so much
to recommend about Canyon and
the area that you'll just have to
visit their websites to learn more.
I hope you'll enjoy my photography
as much as I have enjoyed
creating it. I would love for you to
purchase copies to offer beauty
and inspiration every day.

Philosophy of Photography
Over the years I have found my greatest satisfaction in creating words and images that brought peace, or thoughtfulness, or
beauty in some form into the world. On the photographic front, I have slowly added equipment that I felt was necessary to
capture images that inspire me; however, not having all the experience or technical equipment to alter images, I found that I
worked harder at making my images as perfect a representation of my intended view as possible in the first capture. As a
result, minor blemishes become part of the reality of the scene. We life in an imperfect world, but through our artistic efforts,
we can create images that instill a love of the beauty that surrounds us. Photography should touch the soul of the viewer at the
emotional level and evoke memories that bring pleasure.

Now, having said all that, there is also a time and place for images that disturb and shake us out of our lethargy. These
images may bring confusion or even revulsion as we view them, but in doing so, they should also cause us to think and
examine our lives and our world with a renewed resolve to make both better.
Psalm 19:1-4

"The heavens tell the glory of God,
And the skies announce what his hands have made.
Day after day they tell the story,
Night after night they tell it again.
They have no speech or words,
They have no voice to be heard.
But their message goes out through all the world,
Their words go everywhere on earth."
