Notes on the prints
  • Quality. These museum-grade prints on archival paper, made with state-of-the-art techniques are widely recognized to be the finest available today. They exhibit superior sharpness and color, and are expected to last sixty years on display before any noticeable fading occurs. Due to operating system and screen differences, and sometimes more elaborate image preparation done prior to printing, there might be color and lightness variations between the image you saw on the web and the print.
  • Guarantees. We individually inspect each print and are so confident that you will be pleased with the quality that we offer three guarantees:
    1. 100% money back guarantee: As we recognize that you have not seen the print prior to your purchase, we offer an unconditional full refund for any print returned in new condition within seven days.
    2. Replacement guarantee: We take all the necessary precautions so that your photograph is not damaged during shipping. There is simply no shipping risk to you: we will replace at no charge any print that has been damaged in transit.
    3. Lifetime fade-free guarantee: As we are confident in the archival qualities of our materials, we will replace at no charge any prints which have faded during the lifetime of the original owner.
 
are also available for $5.00 each,
or as a box set of 10 cards for $40.00 - cards may be any ten images.
 
Landscape and wildlife images are a great addition to home or office.

Creation of the Images/Photo Equipment
 
Some of the most common questions regarding my photography are about the equipment used to produce the images, so here is a little bit about what I use to shoot my photos. I carry with me, on most adventures, two digital slr camera bodies. Both bodies are made by Canon. The main camera that I currently use is: the Canon EOS 7D Mark II, with an arsenal of Canon lenses.
 
 
 
Artist Information Statement
 
Photographic images of the natural world are my way of preserving and protecting the outstanding beauty that surrounds us; whether it is a sweeping landscape, a bloom on a flower, or a wild animal in its natural habitat. All of these subjects give us a sense of connection and they renew our spirit with overwhelming emotion. In each of my images I try to convey a sense of place, and a feeling of reverie for the special beauty that is inherent in all that is nature. My images represent over 30 years of capturing just the right moment. Sometimes serendipity is involved, and sometimes it takes the ability to know your subject well enough to be in the right place at the right time. All of my images are captured in natural light with no modification of the natural environment (such as the placing of objects, or the removal of objects, i.e. removing branches or adding colorful leaves). My hope is that my photographs inspire others to see what our world has to offer, and that they create a desire to protect these places for many generations to come.
