I unleashed my passion of photography in the fall of 2001. I especially like to shoot outdoor photography, landscapes, mountains, and wildlife. I love the West with the Teton Mountains and wildlife such as buffalo and moose. I love old barns with my favorite barn being the "Lost In Bama" which gives the mileage from the U.S. 11 site to New York and New Orleans. I enjoy shooting anything that has some sort of history. I primarily work in the 35mm SLR format, and use a Minolta Maxxum ST SI, Minolta Maxxum 7.

My work has been featured in several juried events including The Best of Tennessee Juried Competition Exhibition and Sale. One of my most memorable events was having one photograph,"Lost In Bama", selected for a Juried Art Exhibit during the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, Utah. This same exhibition was featured at the Millennium Arts Center in Washington, D.C. following the Olympics. I have had published works in the New Life Health And Wellness Magazine, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce Guide, Memorial Hospital Art for Healing Guide, Tennessee Valley Authority Calendar and a few other publications.
