Fine Art Photographers introduces
The lone tree by the lake is a subject I've returned to in different seasons and times of day. This was taken at sunrise. The rood in the field with sunlight was pure serendipity. I had also photographed the cross before, but without much drama or interest. As I passed this field one morning, though, the fog, the sun, and the cross composed themselves for me, and I merely had to press the shutter!

It's not a website with selected images, but rather an ongoing presentation of images more or less when I make them.
Thank you for looking.
Country Churches, is autobiographical project and exploring rural churches was ingrained in me from growing up the son of a country preacher. Never seeing eye-to-eye with my father’s orthodoxy, I did discover in the quiet simplicity of these churches a truer meaning of faith.
Rambling through the back roads of the rural south brought up feelings I had not expected. There is something special about these church buildings—they have a sense of community and comfort in their architectures that grounds the soul in the common sense that went into their construction.
I try to capture the universal “Us” in everyday situations, connecting the viewer to our shared experiences. I believe our environment shapes us as much as we shape our surroundings and I want my images to celebrate the common characteristics of places and people and how they all fit together.”

Almost every morning and evening I take our dogs out for their walks. It had been raining in the night and I was looking for something to photograph that would show the after effects of the rain. I was struck by this leaf and the way the water droplets were arranged large and small. I converted the color raw image to black and white.
