Tropical Escapes

The South Seas islands, also known as Oceania, encompass a vast and diverse region in the central and southern Pacific Ocean. While the term can broadly refer to various island groups, it often brings to mind specific characteristics that paint a picture of paradise: turquoise waters, swaying palm trees, and laid-back island life.

More Tales of Tanzania

During this September safari to Tanzania we experienced the drama and beauty of the Serengeti during the peak of the Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles traverse the plains in search of greener pastures. From sweeping landscapes to intimate wildlife moments, each image brings the spirit of adventure and the raw power of nature to life.

The intricate rock formations, sculpted by millions of years of wind and water, offer endless variations in color, texture, and shape. From towering walls to delicate spires, each element provides a unique focal point and artistic challenge.

Tales of Tanzania

March is an excellent time for a safari in Tanzania, especially in the Serengeti, as it falls within the "green season." Just before the long rains. The Serengeti's plains are transformed into vibrant green expanses. March is also the calving season for wildebeest, zebras, and other herbivores

Forever Flowers

Photographs of flowers offer a unique perspective on the beauty and complexity of nature, capturing their delicate details and vibrant colors in a way that the naked eye might miss. The shapes, colors, and textures of flowers can be transformed into abstract compositions through photography. Play with light, blur the background, or focus on individual details to create works of art that transcend the flower itself.

Great Gardens

Photographing gardens offers a multifaceted experience that goes beyond simply capturing beautiful flowers. Balancing the abundance of elements like flowers, foliage, textures, and structures demands careful compositional decisions. Beyond capturing the overall view, finding evocative details like dewdrops, insect interactions, or hidden pathways adds deeper meaning to an image. Gardens provide a peaceful space to connect with nature and appreciate its beauty in a controlled environment.

Treescapes & Woodlands

Trees are majestic individuals, often towering over us. Capturing their grandeur yet conveying their intricate details like bark textures, leaves, and branches requires careful balance and technical mastery. Woodlands showcase dramatic shifts in light and color throughout the day and year. Capturing the golden glow of sunrise filtering through leaves or the mystical fog in a spring forest is a delight. Spending time in the quiet stillness of a forest while observing and photographing its inhabitants fosters a deeper connection with nature and its calming influence.

Time Passages

Images about texture, shape and color.

Created "in camera" using long exposure times (from 1/4 of a second to several seconds). The camera and/or lens is carefully moved, zoomed, swirled or shaken during the slow exposure. Other times it is the subject that is moving during the slow exposure. This captured motion lends a mysterious "fluid" feel to images.

A Road Less Traveled

Roads and paths symbolize different life paths, choices, and directions we take. Photographing different roads (winding, straight, paved, dirt) can represent diverse life experiences and decisions. Turning corners, forks in the road, or paths converging and diverging represent life's transitions and moments of discovery. Capturing these points of change can hold deep meaning.
