Behind the Lens…


I believe that photography can be both fine art and a powerful tool to achieve conservation goals. I admire Ansel Adams not only for his photographs, but also the purpose behind them.


Ansel himself started as a conservation photographer with the Sierra Club and together they used photographs to convince congress to fund and protect lands.


It’s one of my photography goals to add purpose to my work.
