Thank you for visiting my galleries. I am an award-winning photographer and musician from metro Denver, Colorado. I have a deep love and appreciation for the great outdoors that is reflected in most of my photography. I am also enthralled with barns, vintage things, and anything else I find interesting or humorous. In addition to straight photography, I really enjoy playing in the digital realm to create beautiful photo paintings, also referred to as Paintography, or Digital Art. If you see anything in my gallery that interests you that you might prefer altered in any way - color, size, digital processing, or turned into a black and white, please don't hesitate to email me.
