Added 5/23/2006 - Grand
Canyon Rafting trip
Well, I have returned
from my great rafting adventure through the Grand Canyon and I must say,
it was an unforgettable experience. As I emerged from the canyon, back
into "the world", I received some disturbing news about my family, but
everything is working out and all are doing well. But, to my fellow
Canyoneers', I want to give a heartfelt thank you to all of you for your
concern and comforting words as we parted company. I have a rough
gallery put together of some of the images I got on the trip. If anyone
is interested in seeing them, please
follow this link. The trip was definitely an experience I would
recommend to everyone and the folks at Canyoneers are the best in the
business. Many thanks to our steadfast crew - Jack, Todd and Ian - whose
entertaining demeanor and great humor was only surpassed by their
knowledge of the river and Grand Canyon. My father, brother and I owe
you a debt of gratitude for making our epoch journey of rafting through
Grand Canyon such a pleasurable and unforgettable experience.
Added 4/5/2006 - Grand
Canyon and Northern Arizona Gallery Added
I've just returned
from my trip to Northern Arizona, and it was a wonderful experience.
Although the weather in Grand Canyon was somewhat gloomy the entire
time I was there, I managed to grab some nice dramatic images of the
canyon draped in clouds and mist. From there I traveled farther north
into the Page area where I spent most of my time photographing the slot
canyons. I cannot begin to describe in words the overwhelming beauty of
the canyons around Page, AZ. Everywhere you turn you are bombarded
with endless possibilities of compositions. It's hard to pick one and
move on. I have the images from the trip loaded into a
gallery for you to enjoy and place
your print order online. Please take a look and feel free to forward on
any comments you may have. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I was
unable to make it into Havasu Canyon. Perhaps on my return trip to Grand
Canyon in May I will be able to make it in.
Added 1/22/2006 - No
longer accepting PayPal
As of January 22,
2006, I will no longer be accepting PayPal payments. For the time being,
during the ordering process, you will enter your credit card information
on my secure site. I will then process the payment manually and email
you a receipt within 24 hours. During times when I am traveling, this
may take a little longer but will be done as soon as reasonably
possible. In the future, I will be setting up an online processing
system where the payment will be processed and a response sent
immediately, but for now, I will use the manual process described above.

Events Page Updated
I have updated my
events and
travel page for 2006. My Art Show schedule is still tentative at
this point and more shows will be added to the list as I have time to
get applications out, and hear back from shows that I have already
applied to. I have also updated a tentative travel schedule. Most of the
trips listed are definite. I will be taking most of the middle part of
2006 off from field travel as my wife and I welcome a new addition to
the family in late June! I will update the
events and
travel page
page as more travel plans are added or solidified.
Added 12/04/2005 - New
Gallery Added!
I have added a new
gallery to the site from my recent, but short, trip to the Canyon
Country of Utah. My time has been fairly consumed by a commercial
project the past six months so when a brief window of opportunity opened
up to take a quick trip, I jumped on the chance. I chose the areas
around Moab, Utah and enjoyed every minute of the quick trip. Although
Mother Nature wasn't as cooperative as I hoped, I was still able to come
back with some interesting images. I plan to return to the area at a
better time of year in the near future to do more extensive work. You
can check my
events page
to see when and where exactly I will be going. For now, please browse
the images from this trip by following
this
link.
Added 6/12/2005 - New
Galleries Added!
I have added two new galleries from my most recent trips: Owens Valley,
California and Hilton Head Island. I have also completed a complete
make-over of the ordering process and added framing as an option for
most size prints. Click here for
information on framing choices. Check out my
frames page for the frame styles available. More images will likely
be added to these new galleries as I have time to complete the editing
of the images. Go to the
galleries home
page to visit these new galleries.
Added 6/7/2005 - Summerfair
comes to an end
Summerfair was a huge
success this year, in terms of the people I met and the things I
learned. Summerfair marked my first major art show and while I still
have quite a few kinks to work out of my system, I consider the show a
great learning experience. Thanks to the fine artisans who stopped by
and offered their advice for the future, especially the folks on either
side of me without whom I could not have survived the weekend! Also
wanted to express my deepest gratitude to all the visitors who stopped
by the booth and commented on, or purchased, my images. You are the
folks for whom I do these shows. You can check my
events page
to see where I will be appearing next... I try to keep the page as
updated as possible. Thanks again to everyone from Summerfair. It was a
lot of fun!
Added 5/25/2005 - New Images
from Hilton Head Island
New images from my recent
trip to Hilton head Island have been loaded for viewing only. The final
cut images will be available for purchase by the end of June. Visit the
temporary gallery
here.
Added 4/28/2005 - New Images
from the Eastern Sierras of California!
i have been having a
wonderful time in California the past week and have some images I'd like
to share. The images are just in a gallery format at the moment... they
are not ready to be purchased as yet. I will be adding the images for
sale in the near future but for now, you can start browsing the images!
Click
here to visit the galleries pages for these images.
Added 4/14/2005 - Print
Sizes Adjusted
I have adjusted the size
of some of my prints to allow for the full-frame image to be printed on
the print. Previously, I offered 11x15 prints and 17x23 prints which
were slightly cropped images, not full-frame. I have adjusted these
sizes as follows: I now offer a 12x16 print which has an image size of
10x15, and I offer an 18x24 print which has an image size of 15.33x23.
See the section on prints on my
Info Page for more information on this change. The larger print size
will remain the same, 24x32 print for a 20x30 image size, since it was
already a full-frame print.
Added 4/14/2005 - D2X Update
I am still waiting on my new Nikon D2X. These things are in high demand
and it is very difficult to get your hands on one at the moment. But, as
soon as I have one and have field tested it, I will give you my thoughts
and comments. For now, you can check
Moose Peterson's web site for a well documented work up of the D2X.
Added 4/1/2005 - Prices
Lowered!!
I have lowered prices on
many sizes and paper choices in my gallery pages. I have switched to a
new supplier with better prices than my previous supplier so I am
passing these savings on to you. Some of the larger prints have been
lowered as much as $50. Please browse the gallery section and
investigate the lower prices!
Added 3/7/2005 - New Image
Loaded in Misc Gallery
I have added an image from
my recent trip to Ouray, Colorado in the Miscellaneous gallery. It was a
somewhat disappointing trip, photographically, as weather conditions
were not favorable. I did manage to get a few decent images and I will
be loading them as I have time. The first is loaded in the miscellaneous
gallery, a shot of a winter sunrise in the San Juan mountains
surrounding the Ouray area. Click
here to see the
image!
Added 1/21/2005 - Expanded
Site Functionality
I have now added the
functionality to process orders in a more automated process. There is a
full-featured shopping-cart on the site now, as well as the ability to
make online payments via PayPal. Simply click the "Add to Cart" button
after selecting the appropriate print options, then fill in a little
information and click "Confirm Order". You will then be directed to
the PayPal web site to complete your payment. You will be asked to
create an account on PayPal, but this is optional. Once I receive
confirmation of the payment, your order will be processed and shipped.
