For more than thirty years, photography has been both my profession and my way of seeing the world. From commercial projects to quiet moments in nature, I’ve never strayed from the inspirations that first drew me to the camera.

Travel and time outdoors continue to shape my vision. They remind me to slow down, to listen, and to notice the subtle details that so easily pass us by. With a camera in hand, I find myself fully immersed - connected to the rhythm of light, landscape, and the quiet stories that unfold in between.

Photography, for me, is a practice of presence. It’s about finding beauty in simplicity, balance in stillness, and meaning in the overlooked. Each image is a reflection of that search - an invitation to pause, to feel, and to see the world a little differently.

After decades behind the lens, I still find renewal every time I press the shutter. The camera remains both a tool and a teacher - a way to explore not just the world around me, but my place within it.

Sun Signatures

While working on a project for The Nature Conservancy with my good friend Rick, we set out to document the conditions of the Big Darby River in central Ohio—an area that had shown remarkable recovery after years of dedicated conservation efforts. One afternoon, standing knee-deep in the current, I began experimenting with shutter speeds to capture the river’s motion—the way the water blurred and flowed through the frame.

As I worked, I noticed something unexpected: the pinpoint reflections of sunlight glinting off the ripples were forming intricate shapes and playful scribbles in the images. The more I experimented, the more captivated I became. Later, while editing, it struck me that these patterns felt almost intentional—as if the sun itself were signing its name across the surface of the water.

I began calling these images “Sun Signatures.” Each frame carries its own distinct mark, a fleeting collaboration between light, water, and time. Ever since, I can’t help but notice the sunlight dancing on the water wherever I go. It’s as if it revealed a hidden language I can now always see.
