They are representative of our Great Lakes landscape and have expanded to include the macro botanical worlds of our southwestern deserts, Hawaii, West Africa, Italy and Japan. His photography speaks to fresh perspectives and uncovers complex beauty and metaphoric imagery. "My imagery is intended to elevate the viewer to new destinations that embrace awareness, harmony, enlightenment and more. These destinations touch the pulse of the spirit and nourish the quiet current of the soul."
