Landscape, Natural World, and Portrait Photographer Living in Japan.

Entering my 14th year in Japan with camera in hand. I am a self taught photographer who simply could never afford film school. My greatest teachers have been the extraordinarily inspiring landscapes, nature and culture of Japan as well of the privilege of shooting shoulder to shoulder with some of the greatest natural world photographers of Japan. When I first started taking Nature Photography seriously I simply mirrored and observed the photographers of Japan. Some with nearly a half century more experience than myself, I realized very early how lucky I was to have such great masters to study. Though many will say they are simply hobbyists, there works which are often on display in humble local galleries easily could be displayed in the finest galleries on the planet.

It was humbling for some time, as I saw the beauty of what I was photographing, but I simply could not come close to the level of my local photographer counterparts.

However, I was determined, and spent more hours taking photos than I did sleeping, or anything else for that matter.

In time with patience, and a few equipment upgrades, I began to see it. I may have only had one photo a week I was truly proud of, and that can still be the case, but that one photo was all it took. I saw my path forward.

Being from the Northwest of the US, I was born into nature, and my whole life I have basically been trying to get by while making enough time to be in the nature I love.

Suddenly I saw that my means of survival does not have to be divergent from my love of nature. With Camera in hand, I share my love and continue forward into the unknown that excites me.

It took me about 2 years to get this website to a state that I am happy with, please enjoy the photos and check back often as many more photos will be available to order very soon and for many years to come!

Why I create

I create regardless of whether

I succeed or fail.

If I fail in todays creation, tomorrow

I will create again, because

the alternative to daily

creation is daily stagnation
