I am a landscape and wildlife photographer based on the Oregon Coast.

My Wife Jillian and I are retired and we live full time in our comfortable Class A coach with our two kitties our little Papillon dog. We are volunteers for Oregon State Parks for 6 years now and as such we get to live in some of the most beautiful parks in Oregon for extended periods of time. Being able to stay at these beautiful parks for several months at a time allows me the time to wander and explore at my leisure, rarely does a day pass that I don’t get out into nature. The greatest thing for me about RV living is that we in fact have the privilege of living in nature. We absolutely love the beauty of the Oregon Coast so most of the year we can be found wandering the coast border to border, but occasionally we venture inland when the weather and temperatures suit us.

I am a life long Oregonian and have dabbled in photography most of my life. I grew up in nature in the backwoods mountains in Myrtle Creek, Oregon with no running water, no indoor plumbing, and our only source of heat and cooking were wood burning stoves. Milking cows, churning butter and chopping firewood were my only before and after school activities. This is probably why I feel most at home in nature and around animals, and why I’ve always been a bit of a loner and an introvert. I still remember getting my first camera, a Kodak 110 film camera! I just thought it was the greatest thing ever, I had so much fun with that little camera!

In my 20s I briefly moved to the San Francisco Bay Area, I had a lot of fun but didn’t like city living at all, one had to drive for ours to get out in nature. I hated it, so after a couple years I high tailed it back to my home in Oregon and have lived here ever since. I have traveled extensively to all 48 states and much of Canada and have seen much of this beautiful country, but there is no other place I’d rather live than the beautiful Oregon Coast!

I am an amateur photographer, I don’t do this for an income, I do it because I enjoy it, i do it because I enjoy sharing the beauty of Oregon with you all. I also do it for my spiritual and mental wellbeing. Often when I am out just hiking for my physical wellbeing its all to easy to get lost in my thoughts, that endless loop of thoughts about the state of the world, my todo list, how much my arthritis hurts…the list is endless. But when I’m carrying my camera it keeps me mindful and aware and grounded in the present moment. I’m fully present, aware of my surroundings and observing the beauty of nature in live high definition. Whenever one’s mind isn’t focused on the present moment life just simply slips by unnoticed, I may not even notice the chipmunk announcing my presence, the woodpecker in the tree, an eagle soaring silently overhead or the tree root in my path waiting to land me flat on my face! Without exception ALL of life happens only in the present moment. My goal is to be as present as possible to enjoy every moment as much possible, because who knows how many moments we have left.

Although selling my work is not my purpose or goal I can and do sell certain images for framing, or I can print on canvas or metal shipped to your home. Contact me via email if there’s something you would like. I currently do not have anything for sale here on this page, but I’m working on that! A web designer I am not! I’m learning as I go…
