Welcome

The warm climate in Santa Barbara - both in its weather and its spirit - inspires a person to want to capture it somehow. In my case I took up photography because I not only enjoyed finding the locations but the photographic process as well. To say it another way, learning the techniques to capture the image taught me how to view the scenery in a new way which made me appreciate it more. Something clicked.

Photography is now my passion. It has provided me with opportunities I never expected to have and I am constantly looking for the next shoot. Feel free to contact me with suggestions and of course, I welcome your questions and comments.

Thank you for taking time to view my images. I hope you enjoy looking at them as much as I enjoyed taking them.
