Stones - Stones are shaped by the tremendous geological forces of volcanism, glaciation, and erosion. This is my ongoing exploration of the beautiful results of these forces. Autumnal - Color vision is among our greatest gifts; and in autumn we can immerse ourselves in some of nature's most intense hues. Photography is autumn is a sublime experience, perhaps because the season makes us so intensely aware of time passing. Antarctica - Impressions of this icy continent, based upon our 2001 trip. Watercolors 1 - Photographs of fast-moving rivers, each colored by reflections of trees and sky Watercolors 2 - More colorful photographs of water, including both rivers and lakes, some with ice Watercolors 3 - The mirror-like surface of a river bounces astoundingly brilliant color smack back to our eyes - especially in autumn. Western spirit - The American West remains a land of dreams, where our hearts soar at the sight of mountains and wilderness. Serenity - There are times when nature exists in a state of grace, when the world seems at peace for a moment. These photographs capture those fleeting times. Leaves 1 - Like snowflakes, autumn leaves are infinitely variable (though much more colorful!), and are well-adapted to creating photographic collages. Leaves 2 - My quest for perfect autumn leaves - A tree full of brilliant autumn leaves casually dazzles our eyes, but appreciating individual leaves takes a few moments of concentration. Black & white 1 - The rural American landscape of the early 20th century is decaying in scattered ghostly buildings, soon to vanish Black & white 2 - Although I passionately love bright colors, there are times when black and white film is just perfect for the subject Road Trip 1 - Celebrating the disappearing roadscapes of mid-20th century America. Enjoy the romantic past before it is all replaced by big box stores and fast food chains. Road Trip 2 - Signs of the past rust away and fade from sight in far-flung corners of the nation, reminding us of the way we used to live. Road Trip 3 - More signs of the past. Revelations - Photographs that open new perceptions of the universe. Impressions - Intimate and ephemeral views of the world unconstrained by the traditional formulas of photography. These are among my best work. On the wing - Wild birds are among my favorite subjects; I work an immense amount of time in the field to get a few extraordinary photographs. Wildflowers - Wildflowers were among my first photo subjects many years ago, and I am still a passionate flower photographer. Especially in the desert, wildflowers can bring a subdued landscape to life. Tulips plus - A series featuring fresh flowers arranged on pastel backgrounds painted by the photographer. Botany 101 - Celebrating the explosion of plant life, in all its colorful diversity. Time travel - Some photographs remind us that time is quickly passing; everything we know and love is gradually aging and our time on earth is ephemeral.
