Mission: Convey the raw beauty and emotion of our world through photography and visual art.
Philosophy: "The Golden Rule"- Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. No photograph is worth causing harm to wildlife or landscape.
I grew up on a small farm in rural Oklahoma. When the chores were done I loved being outside in nature camping, hiking, hunting, and fishing. This was where I felt most comfortable. I started taking pictures to share my outdoor experiences with friends and family. Like most, I started with an inexpensive point-and-shoot, a cell phone, and no understanding of photography.
In 2019, I started taking photography seriously, taking online classes, watching YouTube tutorials, and reading anything I could find on photography. Experimenting with different photography genres has helped me learn and apply different techniques along the way. My passion for wildlife and nature photography grew from my enjoyment of hunting and being outdoors. The knowledge and strategies used when hunting also apply to photographing wildlife. The benefit photography has over hunting is photographing wildlife can be enjoyed year-round and in places where hunting isn't allowed.
