About

I owned a commercial photography business in Phoenix for 35 years creating photographs for corporate clients and helping businesses develop marketing materials. I also spent as much time as possible traveling the back roads of the Southwest capturing the beauty of the natural world. Gradually my passion for landscape photography eclipsed the commercial work and in 2007 I closed the studio in favor of pursuing fine art nature photography full-time.

The US Route 89 project was initially conceived as a way to showcase my photographs of the great western national parks. When I traveled between the parks I discovered that there were many other beautiful places along the road that deserved to be photographed and shown to the world. I also discovered the many communities along 89 where I found the roots of the culture that characterizes the western United States.
