 Snoqualmie Falls in Winter

I have always been in awe of the beauty that Mother Nature has bestowed upon us. Whether it is a beautiful waterfall, shinning mountains, flowers or unique buildings; all can excite me to capture their image. I am inspired by sun rays shining through a cloudy sky and the red glare of the sun setting on snowy mountain peaks.

I am impressed with the challenge of composing the scene as well the art of editing the raw picture.  I do all my own work from taking the picture, editing it in Photoshop, printing on an archival printer and mounting or framing the finished product.  I can print from the customer’s choice of high gloss photo paper, canvas or watercolor paper.  Each will give a completely different feel to the image.

I have learned that it takes an average of 100 to 200 shots to get that one very special picture. The one that freezes that particular moment and preserves it for all eternity. It’s a matter of being in the right place at the right time. Sometimes you just get lucky. More often, it pays to simply persevere and always be aware of the natural wonders that surround us.
